    Case questions.

    i have an old alienware area 51 predator case, and i love it, it looks sexy, but it has really bad airflow =[ this is also due to the fact that i didnt do a good job on wire management. but when i open the side panel, my temps drop to like 20c idle and 38c load. (also my 8800gts furnace heats everything up even when the fan is @ full speed). My case has one 80mm side fan sucking in and a 120mm blowing out the back.

    so, in short, does anyone know a decent- sized case with amazing airflow and does anyone have wire management tips?

    I just got a Lian-Li V1000 yesterday and I really like it so far, It's stripped down at the moment so I can slice some holes in 'er. It's perforated pretty much everywhere so cooling can't help but be very good, and it looks great.
