So at the moment i have a small NZXT case, and i thought it would be fine, but then i started getting a bigger graphics cards, a bigger motherboard, ect... and now its getting too full, and cable management is terrible in this thing.

Im looking to get a new case. The lian-li v1000 is basically identical to what im looking for, the side panel without a fan, power supply mounted on the bottom, and alot of cable management, maybe even the upside down motherboard. But my issue is that i dont want to spend 400$ on a case, all i will be doing is air cooling with it.

Do you guys have any suggestions on a case that would do the same as the lian-li model? i have a price limit of about 250$

And on a complete side note, could anyone tell me what cpu cooler this is? http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk34/darra69/4-3.jpg

I believe the one you were looking at was integrated with the Koolance liquid cooling system. This one isn't, so I dont see why this would be a bad choice! :D

NCIX charges $315 CAD for the V1000Z:

It's pricey, but a very good case.

I like the coolermaster ATCS840. It has good air flow and comes with filters, I do not know the price for Canada though on newegg it is like 270 I believe.

I had a V2000 and I didn't like the front area with all holes. (2 much dust inside) I found this basically same case as a V1000 but without the holes in front. Lian Li PC-101 Silent Aluminum Case (http://www.silverpcs.com/product_info.php?products_id=189&osCsid=68f0d943383a9f440ebfa1d35f131ac3) for the price it is a steal. $159.99

Can you get the new Zalman GS1000?

I love this case. Nice and big. Some nice features.

Food for thought.
