Hey guys, i am trying to figure out what case i am going to buy. I keep reading reviews and am coming up short on cases. my setup is this....

8800gtx SLI
e6600 Conroe
evga 680i motherboard
Thermaltake Toughpower 1000w 200mm(L)x160mm(W)x86mm(H)
2 150 gb raptors
2 500 gb caviar
DVD Burner
DVD Player
blugears soundcard

and whatever else i may add in the future

I need a case that will fit all of this, and provide maximum cooling (without watercooling). I was going to go with a thermaltake armor for case wise, but i don't think that power supply will fit. Anyone else with a similiar setup have any ideas?

I use eleven 120 mm fans with this case. It provides maximum cooling. My temps on my Q6600 are just above room temp.
