Im not familiar with very many cases, but out of the ones that I have used Thermaltakes' Shark is the best by far. I have one of their Tsunami Dream Machines' and it doesnt compare to the Shark. This case has a side panel that uses a honeycomb design instead of the clear side. The temps are much better and the absense of the side fan lowers the noise. If you use a water cooling system, this case has the holes for the water lines. Im not sure if other cases already have the holes cut, but that wouldnt be very difficult anyhow. If you want to know more, send me a PM and I will be glad to answer any questions. Good luck!

Thats about $2000 right there, but an awesome system, and without motherboard which will add about $180

For that ultimate system, I suggest the Plextor 716 DVD/RW dual layer, nothing but the best.

To bad it aint gonna be yours!
