I am currently using a case I have had for a long time now, Coolermaster ATCS 201 http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=-129&type=expert . I just keep coming back to the simple yet sleek design of this case. The problem I have is, even though I love this case, it has become too outdated and a PITA to change any hardware in and out of it.
I'm looking for an ATX Mid-Tower. I currently use a PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 510-SLI 510W psu. I have 4 hard drives and one DVD drive with a possibility to add a second in the future. I am running a Q6600 processor and a GTX 260 Black Edition video card. My system is air cooled via an HDT-S1283 by Xigmatek. The room my computer resides in is air conditioned. The weight of the case is irrelevant to me and I do not want a case with wheels. Noise is not a major factor, I do not want something that will have my neighbors calling the police about a new airport in the neighborhood but it doesn't have to be inaudible.
What I am looking for is something simple like my ATCS 201 that has superb cooling. I love the aluminum cases, they just feel so sturdy and look so "clean" to me. Color doesn't really matter too much, though I'm not looking for anything flashy. Simple, clean, cool, and capable.
I've seen quite a few that look similar to my old case but have no real world knowledge of any of them. I figured maybe I could get a few suggestions from people who really know how they peroform and their individual quirks.
