    Like a week ago or two I made a new computer build, I noticed that the case that I picked out (Lian-Li PC-65B) wouldn't be able to fit another 8800 GTX for sli later. So I like these two cases.
    LIAN LI PC-A10B Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail - $239.99
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16811112122

    or

    SILVERSTONE TJ09-BW Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail - $279.99
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16811163073

    Which one should I get, the lian-li one I picked from what I've seen from reviews that it is one of their best cases. Also the Silverstone one is very good too. Any other suggestions about cases that I should get. If you do recommend one to me, please would it have a removable motherboard tray. Thanks

    the silverstone case is basically my dream case...

    that issue asside...

    assuming the price is a non-issue if you are planning on eventually going up to watercooling, the lianli would be the better choice just form how it looks. for air, the silverstone would be a bit better.

    just based off of how it looks. both should be good.

    You wouldn't suggest the CoolerMaster Stacker, Xelink?

    I have one, it's a monster on ice. It keeps my system really cool.

    well, with an AMD set up, a low x800gto gfx card, yeah.

    but i bet they didnt factor in the 4 x 120" fans you can put in the front, then the crossflow fan..

    stacker's good, but it does in part depend on your tastes

    I typically recommend the $100-150 full tower stacker and not the $$$ one.
