Its going to house my current rig after i (stupidly) bent the side panel to hell and back during summer move out from my dorm.
Anyhow, I have to get a new case ebcause i hate the one i have now anyhow, money isnt really a problem but id like to keep it under 200. I was looking at a thermaltake tsunami. Id like some input. Quiet, clean lines, not insanely ugly are a must. The tsunami looks clean, has nice curves and lines, and is quiet. Aluminum is nice too because i frequent lans often.
Throw me some links and let me hear some suggestions.
I second the Antec Sonata, excellent case built for quietness (in piano black). Also consider the Antec 3700 range, the AMB (metallic bronze) and BQE (std non-piano black, quieter edition). These all use 120mm fan mounts in the optimal bottom-front and top-rear placements, 120mm allow you to push more air with less noise. They're well built and come with a 120mm fan and an Antec PSU (which is about the best PSU brand out there). Last time I looked the Chenbro Xpider (Gaming Bomb) is also a fine choice, 80-92mm frontal intake and 80-91-120mm exhaust but as is quite common no PSU included there. There are 2 recent reviews of the successor of the Xpider (the Xpider II) ...
A Shuttle (or similar SFF) might be the best choice then, esp with how they have moved on in recent times.
