I MUST buy new parts. THE OLD ONES ARE ALREADY SOLD.
Its a case of buy new parts or have NO PC.

Plus we are already getting a PS3 around the same time.

I get some extra money I wasn't expecting on Wednesday so I have ordered the case I will have in the next build. (Not the one in my OP because I changed my mind

)

Cooler Master Storm Trooper Black Case - $160

Also picking up a sweet notebook backpack for LMN...

Targus Repel SportBACKPACK up to 15inch (TSB034US) - $99

^^It has some sweet features for a "notebook bag" too plus comes with a lifetime warranty.

Wouldn't the fans on the front and side cause airflow conflict a bit?

The ones on the drive cages can be turned 90 degrees to the front (I will be doing that)

No as they are intake fans. The case in the picture is set up for positive pressure. I'm pretty sure they can be turned around for a negative air setup.

Ah, I see, and yeah, I'd probably do that too.

I skimmed the pictures and was under the impression that the front and sides could have fans going.

They can. You will just have to have an intake fan on the top or side of the case behind the drives. Or ditch the side fans and get a very powerful rear fan if want a more efficient setup for that case if using negative air.

I still probably didn't explain myself clearly. I thought that maybe the front and sides could both have fans simultaneously, which I figured would cause an airflow conflict, but it seems it's an option of which way you want to put it and not that it can have fans in both places.

Yep, its one or the other. Not both ways at once.

That is one sweet looking case. All it's missing is a fan controller up there, but it's still more loaded than most other cases.

And is that a handle? on a full tower?

I stay away from big cases like the plague.
Too big for MY taste.

Hope it works great for you.

It's about cooling and strength of components man, you can not like big cases as much as you want but as soon as you start running high-end parts you need the extra space for the cooling it provides and because high-end parts are usually bigger.
