Aspire is pretty good...
Pretty nice case... since it has an LED Friend has this case... pretty nice for the price! I was actually checking this out last night... Cheaper version of it's brother, but still good -Just a quick scan on Newegg... You might want to check them out. Also, Google is your friend

Well the Aspire X Navigator w/ 500 watt psu/w 5 fans and room for the sixth is also a good choice.
As far as cooling your system , the X navigator is the best on the market, period www.aspireusa.net |

has cooling similar to the ASpire X navigator, and then throw in a 50 dollar PSU that will perform better than aspires and it will come to the same price, i thin this looks better too. for example. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...189-003&depa=0

I love the X-Navigator. Also take a look at this case if you ever happen to find the money for it. Very elegant case that will stay in fashion no matter how long you have it!
NZXT Lexa

I've always liked the NZXT Trinity. Good looking without being obnoxious, plus it has the temp display.
