Case good?

I'm looking to spend the cheapest possible, while having it as cool as possible and as roomy(inside) as possible as I plan on doing some overclocking on air and don't want stuff barely fitting.


I think i'll go with the antec 1200 I don't know what I was thinking...

I think the case might be a little too small though?

Dude how much are you planning to put in your case? Bigger case doesn't always mean better cooling. Your fans, heatsinks and airflow design plays a larger roll. I have a matx case with Q6600, 8800GT, 4 gigs of ram, x-fi sound card and a TV Tuner, and I still get good cooling (35C idle, 60C under absolutely max load) with two 120mm fans and a passive CPU/GPU heatsink (VERY quiet computer).
