    What's your budget? Why are you looking for a new one (what do you want to fit in it)?, and what sort of exterior do you prefer?

    DF-35 is the one I have. Its about €100 (or was) from elara.ie delivered.

    If your worried about space its a good case,I running an atx motherboard,corsair 750w psu, 2 6870's in crossfire and using the titan fenrir pro cpu cooler which is massive and it fits just nicely.

    If you want to use water cooling though I'd suggest the HAF-X for about €50 more,awesome case.

    I'm very happy with my Fractal Design Define XL: http://www.dabs.ie/products/fractal-design-define-xl-black-pearl-tower-usb-3-0-7TMB.html?refs=50006&src=3

    You can probably find it cheaper if you shop around. Good balance between cooling and low noise with the case.

    Been looking at this case and it looks pretty good, I've always like the Antec cases but the toploading 2.5" sata bay is a bit strange.

    True but it fits the case,very handy for me as I fix computers and laptops on the side so if I want a better look at the HDD (if its not booting etc) I can throw it into the top slot.

    The only downside I have about it is the cable management.While there is some effort to help you they could have made a few more slots through the back panel.

    I managed to make a false floor back when I had a single 6870 and it cleaned it up a bit,must throw up new pictures wit the crossfire set up
