High-end PC Chassis, suggestions?

[Joker]

Budget of around 2-3k, and the few I'm looking at are:

Cooler Master Cosmos 1000

Lian Li PC-V1110

Zalman GS1000 Gaming Chassis - Titantium

So far I'm leaning towards the Cosmos.. hmmm!

What a way to spend R2000/R3000!

Geez, wish I had that to just blow!

Ooh the Zalman is soooooo pretty

Personally I think spending 2 - 3k on a case is a ridiculous waste of cash. You can get a awesome case for R1k that does the exact same job.

If you LAN a lot, take the weight into consideration.

Antec 900 or Antec 1200. Your components will thank you...

Possibly.. they're so damn nice though.

Otherwise the Antec Performance Mini P180 seems like a good cheaper choice, along with the 900 and 1200 as Elev8r mentioned.

Cosmos

I have the Cosmos S, so I'm biased, but it's the best case I've ever owned and I LOVE IT!!!! *snuggles case* It's so roomy, and big, and pretty and.. and... *swoon*

If i had the cash to blow, it would be the Cosmos.

Dude. Get the CM Cosmos 1000 and move on.

that Lian case looks awesome

Cosmos is very,very heavy

Lian-li is awsome

I have a PC-7F and am loving it. it shaved 11KG off my PC's weight.
Also look at the PC-V1000Z. Layout is very nice on it has hotswap Sata hard drive bays. its R500 cheaper as well and has a built-in fanspeed controller.

Also ask yourself if you will ever buy a dual CPU EATX board. Answer is probably never, so go for a smaller chassis, but crucially one that is well laid out.
