Case suggestions?
Been looking to build a second rig and use my old parts to build a PC to frag my gilrfriend or buds when they come over. Now I want to pick up a new case for myself.
I was looking at the Thermaltake Shark or Tsunami Dream.
Power supply will be a 500w Ultral X-Connect. (ATX) Any suggestions?

Yup, you really should consider the stacker, it's the best case i've ever used. But it's BIG!

Well I have the Tsunami Dream and it's a nice mid tower case overall, though it's not really roomy inside when u start putting ur parts in it. The PSU was a little difficult getting it, but i found if u remove the device bracket at the top of the case and the rear case fan, it should slide in somewhat smoothly. If you decide to get the Tsunami, get one with the window  |

Coolermaster looks awesome but looks both very expensive and bulky and the Shark is so freaking sleek.  |

I rather enjoy my Aspire X-Dreamer II
I'm into mid towers full towers have to much space and are harder to get good airflow with out souding like a jet turbine
