need new case

[simple_inhibition]

hey everyone, im in need of a new case. when my father sent my pc to me ups broke the front door on my aspire x-cruise. well here are my new case requirements:
has to be black or have drive doors
needs a case window
good cooling
and if possible a mid tower

any suggestions?

Well, unfortunately (or fortunately for you) there are MANY cases that fulfill those requirements. You'll have to give us a few more "needs" in order for us to find a case that suits you or else each of us will end up just linking you to our favorite case, LOL.
What is your budget?
Preferred material? (aluminum, steel, plastic, combination)
Does it need to come with a PSU or not?
Any brand preference?
Are you more concerned with quite operation or better cooling performance?
What color?

wait a sec. You broke a door so now your gonna buy a new one? XD

I use a sonata 2. I broke the door and i sitll use it. LOL

As for window. You can get anycase and with a dremel and sum clear material, you can make your own window. Its in the spirit of modding. Tyreal and I made a window before. Got sum plastic from IKEA and away we went.

Are you looking in any specific price range?

On the high end we have a Thermaltake armor. It is certainly nto a mid tower but it suits all your other criterias.

This is another good case that fits all of your criterias.

It is a Lian-Li so expect top notch quality but a high price tag.

Cheap, fits your criteria as well.

The Antec P180 is a current favorite in the mid-tower category. cliky
It's great because it's well constructed, well laid out, has all 120mm fan mounts, and is just an all around great case.

[Tyreal]

I was looking at that for his case but unfortunately it didn't really fit his criteria.

I am getting this case for my next rig which is going for a quiet but low temp theme. I'm not really into the whole window thing.

Those Centurion 5's are really great cases. I was really close to getting one of those when I bought my case. they have great cooling potential, look good, and are of solid construction for a very decent price. It's hard to go wrong with the Centurion 5!

But again, there are a lot of other choices...

[Capper]

I'd not recommend the P-180...its a good case in theory.... but the more I played with it the more problems I found...the ducting system was horrible, the psu cabling was a nightmare, and you need to have a PSU with extra long cables.
For what you are wanting, I'd say look at these cases
Antec Super LANBoy
Thermaltake Tsunami
Cooler Master Centurion 5
Silverstone TJ-07

[Tyreal]

Is it really? Hmm. i'll take a look at some of those other cases you mentioned when it comes time to build my rig.

I've looked at the Lanboy, its an oldie but a goodie. Unfortuantely too small for my tastes.

the Tsunami is a good case but i don't like alot of TT cases.

the silverstone looks like a good candidate...

[Captain Crunch]

I have this case and like it pretty well.
