Ok:
I currently have a Lian-Li PC60 pre-mod from Xoxide that I purchased many moons ago. It has served me well, but will no longer *hold* everything.
Before I ask for your recommendation know this:
I know there is no best case.
I am looking for opinions and experiences.
The setup I will end up with now is :
Silencer Quad 750W (PC&P)
2x1gb Corsair Dominator (4-4-4-12) pc6400
Q6600 w/ one of the tower heatsinks (Tuniq or Thermalright)
p5k-deluxe
2x sata dvd+/-rw write anything under the sun
3.5inch floppy
somewhere between 2-8 ide/sata drives
8800 GTS 640mb probably the superclocked EVGA from newegg w/the rebate.
I don't *really* care about the price of the case. I'd like not to spend more than $300, with that being said.
I do NOT want a U2-UFO case, or any case that is literally twice as wide as my LL Warrior.
In general, I am in love with Lian Li quality/construction. The reviews I've read about the Stacker are not so flattering in that department (plastic locks... I don't know what to say to that... )and this WORRIES me.
My mind is open, I am leaning towards the Goliath at the moment and am asking this before I pull the trigger so to speak.
I do not intend to overclock very muc
I do not replace my system every few months/year/whatever. The components inside most likely will not change for 3 years or so, I am currently upgrading from a 6800U gpu and an athlon 64 winchester rated at 3500.
I do appreciate all of your responses in advance, even the biting and sarcastic ones.
Thanks guys.
