Best case for cooling?

[BobReily]

I'm trying to look for the Direction/Super Flower 201S case that was reviewed on THG , but I can't find it. Could anyone recommend a better case for cooling than the Antec 1080, because it worries me when it comes to cooling. Coolermaster sounds nice (which model?), if it weren't so expensive and hard to find.

Oh I was going to say..I'm going to get two hard drives (both 8 MB cache and 7200 RPM), one CD-ROM drive and a DVD-R drive, a simple graphics card, a decent audio card, P4 2.6 GHz and 512 MB of RAM.

The Kingwin KT-436B-WM is the same case as that. You can find more reviews and sellers searching for that name, though it might cost a bit more. If I was looking for a case now-a-days, I'd check the Sunflower case (or a variant) you were looking at. It reminds me a lot of my current Lian Li (which I know to be good), and looks better IMO.

The Super Flower is virtually impossible to find but could be bought from a foreign dealer. That is not good! More hardware suppliers need to get the Super Flowers (newegg where art thou?)! On the Kingwin KT-436 front, it looks awesome. Reading some good things about it. What are your opinions on the Kingwin's fans? Do they hold up to the "name brands"? They look pretty good. Gold guards and all. One reviewer really wished the Kingwin has 120cm fans instead of 80. Geez, how much cooling does he want? People only have so much money. It has 5 fans and one is on the top! I'd say that would cool pretty well, although that review has made me think that I "must" get 120cm fans. (The price on my new comp just goes up everyday it seems.)

On the other hand the Antec 1080 looks like the exact same case as the Kingwin KT-436. Can anyone explain the difference? (I can think of two things - the alluminum and the amount of fans they include.) I would love to hear more recommendations on cases, but for the time being my vote goes to the Kingwin KT-436 since it has just about everything you could ask for in a case.
