Case Suggestions

I've wanted the XCLIO Windtunnel forever because of its massive size, and extremely good cooling.

However, I also want a case that has a side panel window...and that one obviously doesn't. I've seen tons with side panels...but the majority of them don't look like they'd cool very good (especially when compared to the Windtunnel).

Does anybody know of any cases that both cool well AND have a side panel window? I've thought about the Antec 900...but even it doesn't look like it'd cool all that well, especially since half of its fans are in the front blocked by the Dvd Drive/Hard Drive bays.

Thanks.
 
The 900 sees two not one 120 in the front like the ThermalTake model sees as well. I simply stuck a 120 on the side cover facing out since the case here is iinside a cabinet area to keep dust from being drawn in. The air flow is great however. You won't see heat trapped at the top like many cases see with the 200mm fan there along with the 120 rear.
 
these may work, but i depends on how picky you are:

The ThermalTake Armor series has some comparitable cases to the Antec 900 except those as well as the large fanned XClio see front doors covering the front of the case. The XClio looks too much like the AeroCool AreoEngine II model used for the last build here.



Now compare that to the Antec 900 with no front wing styled doors or one solid door coviering the entire front of the case.
