I have looked at the godspeed before the only thing I don't like is that the PSU is a little hard to get in and I'm a little worried about how the cable management is going to be I don't see any room in there to hide cables.
Thinking about a new case

I don't think it's ugly or anything I love it's big brother the Xclio windtunnel but I don't know if it's what I won't. I have been looking at the beta again and I'm starting to like it it would save me the hassle of painting the inside and the cooling is pretty good. The only thing is it says it hold 7 120MM fans I have done 2 builds with the beta and I didn't see 7 places for 120MM fans of course I wasn't looking for them but I don't recall any besides the front,back, and side.

If you've been building for so long, you should know the quality of those cheap $30-40 cases (although there are some exceptions) get yourself a good case, even if you have to save $10-20 more.
A little bit off budget but definitely a quality case:

Yea the apollo is a pretty good case but If I did get one it would have to be the orange one. I have pretty much forgot about every case I have looked at and looking at some new ones I was wanting a side window but I am thinking of getting one without and just adding one later.

Not really that hard to paint the inside of a case, plus the beta doesnt have 7 places for 120mm fans, that has to be a misprint. (I love the xclio cases, the godspeed is a good sturdy case
)

Yea it has to be a misprint or something there is no way 7 120MM fans are going in that thing. I like the godspeed have you used it or do you know how the cable management is my corsair PSU has a lot of cables and with the mesh the cables are fat. With my current case I have most of the cables hidden behind the back panel but I had to bend the panel out and barely got it on I don't won't to have to do that with my next case.

The Orange NZXT Apollo looks sexy! I'm telling you from experience. I had one for a little over a year.

I have never seen the orange one in person only the black and blue one the orange with orange or black interior would looks really good. I went to the arts and crafts store today and looked at some spray paint it's about $3 a can and I would need 2 cans a primer 2 cans of what color I pick and I can of clear coat so about $15 worth of paint defiantly worth it.

I hope so I have used 3 Xclio cases before but those where the high end models I hope the low end one prove to be just as good.

Worse case scenerio, you cut a hole in the mobo tray for cable management

Yep but hopefully I won't have to now maybe I will have more room for a big CPU cooler.

Yea well nothing is lock down yet I could still change my mind but I don't know I'm going to do some research on the godspeed and see how the cable management is and if I should have to cut some holes. My case I have now has a lot of holes in the motherboard try for cable management but not enough room behind the back panel to hide the ones I don't need.

I don't know if you have ever seen how long the cables are on the corsair power supply but they are about 2feet maybe more. I am still sketchy on the godspeed I've been researching it and seems it has little to no cable management this is a big problem for me since I have no tools to cut holes with plus I have a lot of cables. By the time I was to buy a dremel or something I would save money by buying a $100 case.

I found this case the cable management looks good but the air flow doesn't http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133076. I can't seem to find a good case that has nice cable management and good air flow expect for the cooler master elite 310 or the NZXT Beta.

Surely someone you know has a dremel or something similar?
