Actually a lot of Dells use really complicated heatsink/cooling systems, that's why they're so darn quiet.

But the heat disipation is so close to the CPU and ... they don't look good either

Before you buy ANYTHING...tell us what kind of Dell you have. Many Dell computers are BTX form factor and the components will NOT fit in a normal ATX case.

My daughter has a Dell XPS 400 and everything in there is BTX form factor.

I like how Dell can just make parts that barely work at all, and call it a quality computer.

Sorry haven't been responding it's a dell 630i.

Just don't get the Raidmax Aztec, no cable management, weak, WEAK handles

I really like all the thermaltake cases, save for the window on the side always seems to show more of the drive cage area than the motherboard area.

What are you going to do with this dell case when you get a new case? throw it aside? if so, you might wanna see about cutting a hole in the case and getting some plexiglass and making your own window :-D
