I'm building this in the CoolerMaster HAF case, which I realize is not the most visually pleasing machine, but its open mesh spacious design and its 200mm fans cool very very good. Put a fancontroller in and you can switch to a nearly silent machine (with the fancontroller on the one hand and a quiet CPU cooler in combination with the right bios settings.

That's why I'm adding a fancontroller, a 200mm fan (for the top) and a 140 mm fan (for the side). The case comes with a front 200mm fan and rear 120mm fan pre-installed.
