mid tower suggestions?

im thinking of getting lian li's pc-7bPLUSII case. does this case have pretty good airflow? im putting everything you see in my sig minus the water cooling in it, if I get it . hopefully I can keep my opty stable on air with same speeds.

my stacker is way too large. something a little more practical will do. any mid tower case suggestions?

Lian-Li PC60B+II is a better choice, read the difference in specs on newegg...this will give you more room and airflow, I was also going to choose the 7b but once I read it more carefully, I decided to go with the P60B+II, now the only thing is to wait until someone locally gets it back in stock....another task at hand here in Toronto.

I bought the 7B and I like it so far. Just take off the black mesh for the fans and it should increase air flow. I like how the front of it also seems very open and unrestrictive and unlike the PC60B+, it has 120mm fans instead of 80mm in the back. I'm pretty happy wit the temps I'm experiencing. I keep my room pretty cold though, so your mileage may vary.

thanks for the suggestion,but just recently I found a review with a opty 170 oc'd to 3ghz@1.52v being cooled with the tuniq tower. his temps were between 45-47c I find that to be pretty amazing.

whats really hard to find though is led 120mm fans that perform real well. if I get that lian pc-7b, im replacing the fans because I want a little more flash. fans I was looking at were yate loons blue led, aerocool xtreme turbine w/89cfm (not sure how accurate that is), and well thats bout it

I heard that yates perform real well,but im not sure if 47cfm is going to be sufficient enough.
