I´m searching for a new and better Case now, and i found 3,4 Cases that impress me a lot

Thermaltake Armor VA8003BWS

AnTec Nine Hundred

i need a very good silent cooling system, maybe a big case to handle my dual radiator "inside" the case
or u know a much better one?

Opticaly I would go for the first, the Thermaltake - it looks rock solid, is prepared for BTX.... looks awesome.

But if you read the text for the third case [Bis zu 18 Laufwerke kann dieses Monstrum fassen!!! Das ideale Gehäuse für User mit einem Hang zum Übertreiben oder als perfekte Herberge für ein Server-System!] Up to 18 drives can be put in this monster. The perfect case for users who want to show off or who are going to setup a server-system... It might be a hard decision...

No, take the first one. That is an awesome case!

I would go for the 900 personally. The top 230mm fan is nice, probably quieter then the TT, plus it is 50 dollars cheaper.

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L
Intel Q6600
XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)
Visiontek Radeon HD 3870 OC edition 512 MB
Seagate ST350063 OAS 500 Gig SATA Hard Drive

Its on its way. I will let you know how good I can Overclock this baby.
