I would have to recommed going with the thermaltake case. You can be sure not to go wrong with a company like that. They make quality products and offer good thermal solutions.

Get the thermaltake one (also known as the "Tsunami Dream")
It's a fantastic case and will keep your system nice and cool

I'm behing all of them when they say its a great case. I currently own one myself. Great cooling, but one downside, its a bit cramped inside if you plan on watercooling later on. I'm having those problems and trying to find ways around it. So if you wanna buy it then i recommend it completely, but be warned, it does get cramped in there. (Probably another larger case from thermaltake might help...maybe the armor series..?)

But good luck on choosing

The case is not bad.....
I just find that TT case's are over priced for what they are now days. As for thermal solutions, thermal take and good all being in the same sentence, thats somethign that makes me giggle.
The case's ( from my vast experience ) have proven that the air flow through is quite shocking. ( ive conducted smoke test's with several case's ) and also the fans ( 80, 92, 120 ) bearings are terribly loud and deliver somewhat poor suction / blow.
From a few tests ive done on 120mm fans ( silenx, coolermaster, paps, delta, TT ) i found TT was the worst for pushing air off to the sides more the pulling through etc.
The one thing with this case that u have to watch out for is the plastic door.
They have a high " falling off " rate ( well they do in NZ iirc ).
For the price why not a competivly priced Antec case?

But hten again all above comments make mine pointless
