I am looking right now. I have found that I would prefer a case that has at least One 3.0 usb in front.... at least two 2.0 usb's in front. Along with being able to use bigger fans. Bigger fans cool better at lower Rpm ='s less noise. Makes sense, right.

Style has something to do with it as well along with $$.

I found this just now and was going to ask about this one... http://www.amazon.com/Nzxt-Technologies-Tempest-Steel-Airflow/dp/B005MMW4DM/ref=sr_1_23?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1347750611&sr=1-23&keywords=computer+case+3.0+usb

However there is also something to think about too. It can be tackled later but if you are paying for it, it is kind of nice to get the right one from the get go. That is 3 or 4 pin fans for speed control. A lot of these cases like the:

Rosewill BLACKHAWK Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, come with Five Fans, window side panel, top HDD dock

Which I like, has only 2 pin fans... making the fans antiquated, or too old to get all the great stuff the new Mobo's offer. Speed control, etc.

Here is a resource to help you along:

Then there is the PSU end of it...Power on top or below? Some feel power below is hotter then above. Some think power below is better because of the air flow of your PSU (power supply unit)

Another big deal is what kind of MOBO you get? ATX, Mini ATX the board will say what kind it is as well as the case manufacturer will tell if or what size fits in it...

Hope this was the Best answer....
