My current case is an Alienware one from an older computer.
The current set up is an i7 920 @ 4GHz with an nVidia GTX-285.
Things are running a bit toasty in there at the moment though, and I don't think the Alienware is supplying much air through the case.
My number one thing is to get better airflow, but the second thing is to keep noise at a minimum. If necessary I'd replace the fans in the new case with quieter alternatives.
I'm looking for something full-tower sized. So far I've sort of narrowed it down to the HAF 932 or the Obsidian 700D. I'm not too fussed about looks (I know the HAF is fugly!) once the cooling is good, plenty of space and good cable management. The Obsidian is very expensive though.
Currently I'm using a Corsair H50, but could possibly upgrade to a full water cooling setup at some stage in the distant future.
TIA.
