Case for a gaming pc?

[rowdymoody]

Hello, What are the top contenders for best gaming case? I have been looking at the Zalman z11 plus HF1, mainly because I find it visually appealing, and it seems like it would have great cooling, but I am not really sure what is out there. Any input on awesome looking cases that will also provide great cable management and cooling capability?

Corsair Obsidian Series 800D but it might be over budget. I love mine.

I agree with i2iDGE on the STORMSTRYKER good all around gamer

Oh sorry guys, I forgot to mention that it has to be a mid-tower sized case, don't have room on my desk for a full tower.

The cm Storm Enforcer if you like the look, is even a recommended purchase from tom´s hardware.

I won't settle for anything less than a full tower, so I always set mine to the side of the desk. Besides, why have a computer on a desk? It may be fine for tiny office computers, but for home you want to maximize desk space to save room for speakers, some books maybe, software, Ipod, etc.

Well my desk is set up so that the tower is not actually on my desk space, this is the exact desk that I have http://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/officedepot/804372_scene7?$OD-Large$ but this image is mirror image of the actual thing (the shelves are actually on the right side). I have it set up so that my tower sets on that bottom shelf, so you see I have somewhat limited space for it, and I will not set it on the floor as it is carpeted and I do not want to block bottom ventilation.

I found this case while poking around http://www.corsair.com/us/pc-cases/graphite-series-pc-case/special-edition-white-graphite-series-600t-mid-tower-case.html and I really really like it. Anyone have experience with this case at all? What do you think about it?

Here's a good case : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A76E46I/ / http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6891

It fits any atx board and any gfx card, also most of the high end coolers.
