That's a sexy case and looks a lot like the one my dad built with.

Amazon.com: Antec Nine Hundred Steel ATX Ultimate Gamer PC Case (Black): Electronics

A very nice case and was decently easy to put everything together. There was one downside but I can't really remember what it was... Something with a sound output I think.

I have the regular grey/black Corsair 600T and I love it. I have literally built PCs in at least 50 different case models over the years and this one is the best. Be warned though, there are two things you should know about it. First, its BIG for a mid. Like almost full tower big. Second, if you are doing multi-GPU, you may want the optional side panel with the fans. Stock, it has no side fan.

What is your budget for a case? What components are going in? Water cooled, or air cooled?

The 600T is a great case. It is probably my favorite mid tower. I got to play with one in person during a build for a friend, and I was impressed with the cable management options. I also recommend the Cooler Master Sniper Storm:

Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Storm Sniper SGC-6000-KXN1-GP Black Steel, ABS Plastic, Mesh bezel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

It has great cable management, customizable lower drive bays to allow room for longer GPUs, and "handles", or places that allow you to lift the case from the top, which is something I love about Cooler Master Cases! It really helps when moving your PC on and off your desk and when transporting to LAN parties.

Both of these cases have room for a 120 x 240 mm radiator at the top of the case, which means.... wait for it...

Hydro Series

The new Corsair Hydro H100 CPU Cooler! With the larger radiator, this thing should do a great job cooling overclocks over 4.0 GHz. It would do an even better job with a couple Scythe Gentle Typhoon fans to keep it cool (the preferred fans for hard core water coolers due to the high static pressure). The larger mid tower cases are more than enough for gamers.

If you want a full tower, I have some other recommendations. Just make sure you have the hardware to fit a full tower, otherwise you are just wasting money and space. For example, my Cosmos S case has 10 x 5.25" bays, and I am using every single one of them. If I were to use only a single optical drive and 2 hard drives, I would much rather go with a mid tower.

Some popular full towers:

Choose a case that fits the style YOU want and what is best for the components you are planning to put in it. Don't worry about the opinion of others.
