What Case has Good Airflow and USB ports that face UP

[jp182]

I've been reading a few of the case suggestion threads but all of the suggested cases have USB ports that face out. The problem is that in my current office, I have a wireless keyboard and mouse that use a USB transmitter and it gets crap signal when plugged in the back of the case. Right now they are plugged into the front ports and they face up which is great because I can ensure that I don't accidentally walk by it, in a rush, and break it in the port.

It's really time for a new case and I could REALLY use better airflow in it but I haven't seen any good cases recently with that option.

Check out the Silverstone Raven RV02.. If you have the cash, the Silverstone Fortress FT02 is even better..

Whats' your budget for the case?

 

[jp182]

My budget is around $100; give or take $10 or $20 if it's the greatest thing for slice bread.

 

[saint19]

Antec Three Hundred Illusion for budget and performance.

Antec Three Hundred Illusion for budget and performance.

i'll even go for this kind of setup

How's the Antec Nine Hundred??

 

[saint19]

^That's a very good case, if you have the budget go ahead

what about the antec six hundred? I've found it for $14 cheaper with shipping at $86

 

[saint19]

If your components fit inside the Six Hundred save you the $14 and go with it, but for airflow the Nine Hundred is much better.

Check this case also, is very good: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119197

so Saint19: I need your advice. I bought the three hundred illusion for $55 2 days ago and it just arrived today. However, I see Newegg has a sale where I can get the Six Hundred for $50 after a mail-in rebate (I send those in religiously). Is the airflow from the six that much better than the three? Or at least enough to warrant me returning the three?

 

[saint19]

I'd keep the three hundred, the space difference and airflow difference isn't enough to return it and get the other one.

thanks man and THAT is the best answer ;-)
