New Rig question

[erakepio]

Hey all,

I'm building a new PC. Not too keen on water cooling so fan based cooling is what I'dlike to have.

I need to find a case which has good airflow and can keep the internals cool. I'd be liiking to spend £170 max on a case. I had these ones in mind but could not find many reviews...

Lian Li PC-A71B

ThermalTake VA9003SWA Xandalf

ThermalTake VH6000BWS Armor+

any suggestions or ideas would be welcomed. Heres the planned hardware to put in...

Intel Core 2 Quad-core 2.4GHz (may choose core 2 dual core instead)

nVidia 8800ultra/GTX

6 or 8GB OCZ PC6400

SB Fatal1ty sound card

x2 500GB HDD (Seagate)

Windows Vista (possibly XP)

Thank you

Lol - just replied to your watercooling Q, you changed your mind already!

Right, the lian li one is gorgeous. Forget about the TT.

The lili v2000 is large and spacious and is about £150, look on wcuk/aqua/kustompcs.

Silverstone tj07 is nice, the black pearl is too... Have a look in the review section at some of the cases...

wouldnt say changed my mind. Just looking at every option open to me at the moment, trying to determine which is probably best for me

Lian Li or Silverstone would be the way to go, the v2000+ is a brilliant case.

my advice would be to consider if you really do want a door on the front. I bought a coolermaster with a door on the front, which has now been removed. now it looks a bit "unfinished"

though it does indeed keep things nice and cool
