Size isnt an issue really as i have the room...its just i want a good cooling PC (air) with room for upgrade and HD's and those two seem to stick out for me also due to having the I/O at the top rather than bottom.

ANy other suggestions?

well you can probably guess this one (hint: it's by akasa ;))

also quite like the look of the original stackers, maybe worth considering?

Indeed lovely jubbly ,like mine as it serves my needs.seperate area for the psu and for water cooling and room for a minitix setup if you wanted. Raft of hdds seperate from main area and plenty of room left over.Nice to work inside and feels uncluttered.

Depends what you want Bryn,if you throw me a msg over msn I will get some pics sorted..

As Andy says it is a very large case,but then if you need plenty of room and it ticks all your boxes.I can not see myself moving on to another case for a while yet and if I did it would probably be a MM Ufo

On another note the Akasa is a superb case and of very high build quality,you can not go wrong with it whatsoever,I can fully vouch for it.

I have been looking at the MM Twice7 recently.....not quite as big as the UFO but all in all a very similar case. :)
