I'm looking at getting the Lian Li PC-65B or Lian Li PC-61B, identical cases with the only difference being the window. Will this case be sufficient in terms of heating, or would I need a different case? Also would the Lian Li V1000 be more suitable? I just want a solid, cool care free case, and as soon as my case is chosen I can buy. As much help as possible, check my specs and any advice on them appreciated aswell.
 
what kind of heat are those new intel cores producing? I see the performance is finally up to par vs. the X2 stuff, thats good at least.
 
If that Lian-Li is the one where the CPU is below the expansion slots are, then go with that.

The airflow should cool off that hotplate CPU of yours.
 
I personally like the looks and the functionality of my v1000 case. Expensive, but its a very nice case and i don't really have any temperature problems with it.
Just remember, that whatever case you want to get, you like, as you'll be looking at it till you get the urge to upgrade it again... :p
 
CM Stacker 810, it just came in the mail, its a moster. Much bigger and easier to work in then my old pc-v1000.

I cant get over how sweet it looks, pics dont do it justice.
