Well, if it's nifty styling that you're after...have you considered Cooler Master's new Ammo 533 case? It would probably have ventilation better than either the Centurion or the Tsunami since there's plenty of ways to make good use of the ventilation on the side and it's definitely got a cool, very "different" look.

You linked to the same thing twice.

I agree with the Ammo 533 solution. I absolutely hate how it looks, but if you go for the flashy "bang" kind of appearance, the Ammo should be really good for you.

sorry about the wrong links. Nah, dont like the ammo. too crazy looking. I mean i like the soprano because its not as boring as the p180(understatement) but its not all bling bling and stuff.

Well then I would advise you to go with the Centurion 530. Here's a little rundown of what an ideal setup for it would be:

*120mm front intake to blow cool air into the lower area of the motherboard
*80mm fan on the side to blow cool air across the middle-ish area of the motherboard if you unscrew the CPU duct; could easily be modded to accompany a 120mm fan
*You can use the three non-stealthed faceplates (they're meshed and filtered) to put in a Coolermaster 4-in-3 device for an additional 120mm intake to suck cold air in and blow it across the top of the motherboard...GREAT setup for something like a Scythe Ninja, etc.
*120mm rear exhaust
*Two stealth faceplates up top (always cool)
*With a Sunbeam Wherever PCI Rack, you could rig up a 120mm fan right above your VGA/PCI area to suck cool air in directly from the vent slits below the CPU duct area, or to exhaust hot air from the area
*Nifty metal posts on the side...you could probably use them to carry the case if you wanted to

And all that for a heck of a lot less than a Tsunami Dream right now on Newegg. They're having a blowout sale on the Centurion 530 that lasts until tomorrow...checketh it out!

I like the looks of the Tsunami better, but I'd be willing to bet that the CM case is a better made case.

 

[love2skate824]

tsunami also has 2 120mm fans and a 90mm fan

Changed my mind - Go with the Tsunami. Newegg has a deal that can get you $10 off if you buy it with the Purepower 460W. Doesn't look like that bad of a PSU:

- 24-pin connector
- PCI-E connector
- SATA connectors
- 30A on the 12V rail

That CM case looks like a colling machine!!
Gotta love all those 120mm fans!!
