We whitebox everything here and have been very satisfied with Coolermaster cases, in particular the Centurion series:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119068 Loads of airflow, the entire front is a mesh, big 120mm fan on the back. Not loud. What kind of CPU are you running? Anything reasonably modern these days runs pretty darn cool, save the old 125 watt athlons. Throw one of these puppies on any scorcher and it'll cool down good (There is a larger model than this one, I'm suggesting modestly): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118003 Also maybe try some of the high-performance thermal goop, like Arctic Silver 5 or OCZ Freeze or whatnot.

I have to have a powerful fan pointed almost directly at the CPU in order to keep it from overheating. That's with a couple 80mm fans in the back! I think it's time to get a new case that's built for temperature control. Any suggestions? I'm not overclocking my CPU or anything, it just runs hot! I'd prefer to keep a new case below about $50-75, max. If you have any particular cases in mind, can you post a link to where they can be found on-line? I prefer NewEgg, as they tend to honor their rebates. TigerDirect will use any excuse to keep from paying rebates! :( [cid:image001.jpg@01CAF74F.5190C680][cid:image002....@01caf74f.5190c680] ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
