Whatever you do, don't buy one of those gay PC cases with windows in the side if you live anywhere near a radio amateur. Their EMC performance is woeful. Get a proper metal box. Nothing to see inside a PC.

Sad thing is the Armour has a big plastic window on it, and thats whats putting me off buying it. :-/

Just found a case for Loo-knee

If you need that level of cooling:

a) Look at BTX cases, rather than ATX
b) You're doing something very wrong in the build.

I dont actually know that I will need that level of cooling, I am just planning ahead and planning for the ammount of heat that may come off future motherboards and then if I max the case with hard drives then I would rather have 6 redundant fans doing noting than 1 than cant do enough.

It's a complete waste of effort and money to try to "future proof" a PC.  Over the last 15 years, the technology, both hardware and software, has changed so rapidly that all your kit is showing it's age after 18 months and more or less obsolete after 3 years.

Of course, it doesn't really matter unless you absolutely have to have the latest toys.  As long as it runs the stuff you actually need at an accepatble speed without falling over at frequent intervals, it's OK.
