Good Quality, Good looking computer cases

Does it make a huge difference to get a case with 6+ fans or do the case with less cut it?

I got a Smilodon for a mere 900 bucks, and it's got 5 fans pre-installed, 2 of which are 120mm.

Great cooling! some reviewers had their 4870x2 idling at 90c, where as I have never seen mine ever go above 82c, even after a 2 hour session of crysis!

I would rather get the CM690 or CM Centurion 590

The cooling is unmatched for the price. 2 x top fans to extract hot air, 1 x 120mm rear fan, 1 x 120mm CPU fan (side fan), 1 x 120mm GPU fan (side fan), one front intake fan on 4in3 HDD bay, for better cooling. Its also got ample space without modding (unlike the antec 900)

but they look bland.

Coolermaster Centurion 590

The only thing raidmax cases are good for is looking good, as their cooling is mediocre...

no problems this side, and i'm running a real hot card here...

what's the price of those cases there though?

its more about fan placement, and how you install them...

See, the objective is to reduce internal turbulence and dead spots...

But its nice to have the options of more fans and placement

Ok fair enough. but for 900 bucks, i'd recommend it though - did a lot of research for that price range..

the CM Stackers are nice though.

just don't go for the gigabyte aurora - crap cooling.

Ok, just wanted to know as there are some really nice looking cases but they have like 2-3 fans maybe, but then you get the other cases that don't look as awesome but have 5-8+ fans, so I didn't know which would be better?
 
For me either the Antec 1200 or the CoolerMaster nVidia edition CM 830 stacker - sweet cases!

At the moment I have an Antec P180 (one of the best ever made) and RaidMax Smilodon.
Am seriously thinking about the CM830 or Cosmos 1100 to add to my collection :D
