    For my money, I'd rather have this...
    Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER RC-692-KKN2 CM690 II Advanced Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
    Use that $60 for extras like better fans, memory card reader, etc.

    Worried about Punch out PCI, don't know what the big deal is, punch them out, if you need to have something to fill in the slots when not used, then fill them with some thing like these

    Newegg.com - Silverstone AEROSLOTS Standard expansion slots

    or

    Newegg.com - Nexus PCI-300 Extra Ventilation PCI Brackets
    i7 940//Corsair H60//EVGA X58 SLI LE//6GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz//2x EVGA GTX 560 Ti FPB SLI//NZXT Hale82 850W//CM 690 II Advanced//Win7 64//WD 74GB V-raptor, 750GB Black, 1.5TB Green

    Because the element G is gimmicky, has quality control issues, and is going to be tacky looking in a few weeks/months
    CM's 690 is a little more classy looking and has nice features, cooling and is cheaper to boot
