Newegg.com - Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases
Best case i've found ("FOR THE PRICE"). just buy a replacement fan for the top of the case. you want to buy a full tower it may be bigger but the air distribution will be better and will definitely fit your GFX Card. There are also a "New Style" of computer cases, that have separate departments for your hardware now. example: your hard drives and psu would be mounted on the bottom of the case and a metal divider would be between them and your mobo and the rest of your hardware. I don't know any direct links but those are also great for heat distrabutionLast edited by xfxmonkey; February 26th, 2010 at 10:48 AM.

Newegg.com - LIAN LI PC-7BYCF Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases
My case through 4 years and 2 pc builds:
Newegg.com - LIAN LI PC-7B plus II Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases
It seems they no longer include the side fan or the cpu cooler shroud
If I purchased again:
Newegg.com - LIAN LI PC-P50WB Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases
My biggest peeve is having a usb, firewire audio port at the bottom front as opposed to top front of case.
This is a very sexy well thought out case also, I just do not see the value in a steel case unless your reckless: Newegg.com - SILVERSTONE Fortress Series FT02B-W Black Aluminum / Steel Computer Case - Computer Cases

I wouldn't recommend an antec 900 to house a 5970.... you would have to have dvd racks at top and bottom and slot the card through the middle....
Any of those cases above would work good though.

Again Yes Yoda. She will sit right up against the hard drive cage nice and snug. The hard drive could be mounted with other options if need be anyways and the cage removed. Flexibility is the strong suit of good cases and I have to say that is a damn sexy case! I got chills looking at it and almost bought it myself but I have to think of the kids (4mo and 7yr) needing College

If you have never owned a good case you are going to be pleasantly suprised. Do not get me wrong I still enjoy my Antec Soho file server case but my mid Lian Li is much more practical.
Promise to take pictures and post back!
