New case for air flow

[GZFant]

Hello All!

Just needed some help from the community again.

I am looking for a new case to replace my Lian li PC65B (old skool 80mm fans)!

I am looking for another Lian Li case unless there is something better out there that fits my needs.

1. Needs to be quiet yet effective. The ability to overclock easily yet keep cool n' quiet!

2. Not flashy designs and no plastics, SECC etc.. I like the look of aluminum

3. Clean cut, modern look and easy to upgrade in!

4. *Throwing in a curve!* Smaller than Mid-tower but not Shuttle, MicroATX, Mini etc..

5. Last but not least, nothing over $150, unless completely 100% worth it!

Thanks again!

Plastic SECC? SECC is steel.

Any recommendations?

I don't see your requirements re. drive/device bays. Just to throw some out there: the Lancool/Lian Li PC-K7B or K10B - the strength of SECC and the looks of Reynolds Wrap...
For mega airflow the XClio WT (windtunnel) or the Tagan Monolith (both the same case just take the one with the best bottom line at the time.

I just picked up a Lian Li PC-A77 to replace my Lian Li PC-60BPlusII. I ran out of room with the PC-60. The PC-A77 is one sweet case! I know it's over your price limit but in my opinion it's worth every penny. It's so nice having lots of room to work and not have to worry about a 4870 X2 not fitting my case. It's got a nice clean look and it's loaded with four 120mm fans and room to add lots more.

Here's where I picked up my A77:

Sorry about not being so specific on what I have.

I am currently running an A8N SLi Deluxe AMD3000+......i know i know....

I just want a nice case right now that I can depend on in the next couple of upgrades. Mind you guys, it only comes about every 3 years or so.

I am being very case anal right now, I just wanted to hear some of the good opinions you guys always throw out!

Thank you BroadbandGamer but, I don't have room for a full tower. Really looking for a mid with good cooling and Lian Li build quality.
