Coolermaster RC 690, bloody good case (I'd used el cheapo no name up until this build).. provisions for water cooling (not that I'm that keen) and HEAPS of room, one of the cases that can fit the heatsink snugly, did a lot of research before making purchase (as with everything), excel spreadsheets weighing up pros and cons.. nearly got some crazy cool looking Aerocool but in the end the strong features lured me into the boring looking RC690

Thanks for that. Just had a look at the case. Really like it, and its unique in design. Sideways mounted drives, has to amke it easier for hot swappable etc, and i like the way the PSU is bottom mounted, very different. Just doesnt have enough slots for what I want but its a cool case all the same.
