Thanks for your time and help.
 
well im finding the Antec P180 to be an absolute dream for cooling, currently got 4 120mm fans going and the whole thing is completely silent at the moment. Fantastic case to work with too,
 
The P180 is a nice case but I need something along the lines of a full tower with at least 4 external (5.25 bays ) and 2 ( external 3.5 bays ) also I would like at least 5 or 6 internal 3.5 bays. Thanks for your suggestion though it was appreciated.
 
nice case but I don't like the audio and usb ports on top of a case. Also I perfer to have a fan on top for better exhaust. Thanks for the reply
 
In my opinion the Aspire X Navigator keeps components the coolest. Only negatives is that the fans are loud and the lights are very bright. But you did say you wanted COOL.
 
The Aspire X Navigator is a very nice case, but with all those 80's it might be a tad loud. If there is no budget, then try this case out for size... :

Also, here is a full line of top of the line cases:

However, these 2 cases are awesome, considering their price:

First case is real nice but I'm trying to stay away from water cooled and stick with air cooled. I have the Navigator now and it cools ok . It has a 80mm fan on the side panel and I trying to find something with better air flow to my video cards . The other cases only have 1 3.5 external bay and I need 2 bays . Thanks for your time and help though.
 
Thanks thats what I've been doing lately. I appreciate the help. I also contacted Aspire to see if they had one of the new Navigator side windows with a 120mm fan on it. They replied back they did and the cost would be $25 including shipping so I'm going that route. Thanks again for your help.
