Of your the 2 you have selected, I would go with the Lian Li. I say this b/c it has a removable motherboard try. It also seems to have more room to work inside of the case.
As for the case I am going to get, it will be the Antec 900.
The Wall Street Journal is smoking shit. They have no clue what the heck they are talking about. VISTA IS 100% EXCITING!!!! I am so excited for it to come out. Morons!!!
True but I am not looking to go really high end when I upgrade my system. I am looking to go to the 7900 series only. I dont play that many games to take advantage of the 8800 series.
Thanks for all your input.
I am currently running an ATI 9600 Pro 128MB card and want to upgrade to the NVIDIA side of things. Should I get the top of the line (or close to it) AGP card or wait to upgrade my motherboard, cpu, memory, and video card?
Reason for upgrading: Vista and some gaming and do not like ATI.
Could you post a pic of your case so I can see the placement of hard drives in relation to the motherboard?
Thanks,
Aaron
EDIT: Can someone tell me if this fan will easily install in the Centurion 5:

My only complaint of the Centurion 5 is that the 3.5 hard drive bays will stick out over the motherboard. I do not want this. I want the drives mounted so they are facing the left or right side of the case.
Thank you all for your input. I like the Centurion 534 but not the 532. Here is why I do not like about the 532:
1. The bars on the front.
2. The centurion logo on the front.
What I do like:
1. 2x120mm fans
2. Top USB
So I am not sure which one to get.
I am looking to upgrade my case but want to keep it on the DL (low budget). I want a case with either no door or a basic door, no LED fans (these can be replaced tho), hard drives mount facing away from the motherboard, 120mm fans (no 80s) and a plus would be a removable tray.
So from that, I...
Let me add some insight into this. Yesterday I attended the Intel Microsoft Ready 2 Rock RoadShow. It was a blast. There were 5 people from Intel and 2 from Microsoft. One of the Intel speakers did a demonstration with 2 systems. Both systems were similar expect processor, motherboard and ram...

I don't own an Antec 900 yet but just a question. First tho, I like your idea and say run with it. But my question is: Will that affect case or cpu temperature?
I would like to know if the front panel is removable. I like the case except I do not like the LED fans in the front. So..can you remove the front panel? Oh wait...don't the hard drive cages slide out toward the front of the case, right? Can someone take a detailed picture of one of the drive...
Antec Solution Series (forget the extact one):
1. Make the case longer
2. Turn the hard drive cage so it is paralell to the motherboard (currently perpendicular)
3. Move PSU to the bottom of the case.
4. Put 2 120mm fans in the top
Thats about it.
I am unable to go to Shutdown, Restart or Logoff my computer. I go to Start >> Shutdown >> Select any of the 3 and it does nothing. I have even tried doing start >> run >> shutdown.exe -r (for those who don't know, that tells the computer to shutdown and reboot). All 4 of these fail. If I want...
