    I'm thinking of buying it. Is there any others that you all might suggest?

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Not bad...but a bit pricey considering the 'dual fan blowhole' is a very simple mod to pretty much any case. If you're not too handy with tools, or simply can't be bothered, it's not a bad deal. Dig around the web for a review on it before you buy though.
    Something that caught my eye the other day was these:

      I'll vouch for the case, which I've been using for over a year (without the blowholes). I believe Wombat has one as well. It's real name is something like the YCC-802 ATX. Different companies market it under different names.

      You can get a look at all the cases based upon its chassis here:
      http://www.globalwinusa.com

      It is very feature rich for a case its size, and can be gotten a lot cheaper if you're willing to live without the blowholes. It's quite long, and so you get a lot of space for a mid tower. It has a motherboard drawer and 8x8 cm auxillary fan vents at the lower front panel and in the back, right below the power supplies. I've seen better cases, but they're all a lot bigger.

      Again, if your heart isn't set on the blowholes, you can pick one up here and get your choice of a bunch of different power supplies:
      http://www.a-pro.com/ATX802.htm

      I'm familiar with most of the power supplies listed. If you have any questions, please ask.

      By the way, I'm thinking of trying out the Antec case DarkSyd mentioned.
