I'd recomend picking up this months custom pc, has an awesome review of the latest high end cases and the results are suprising to say the least.
Here are the top cases for cooling; High End Premium Grade: Antec Twelve Hundred Approved: Thermaltake SpedoAdvanced Mid Range Mid Range - all approved Antec 900 Gigabyte 3dmars Silverstone FT01-W Water-cooled Approved: Silverstone TJ07-W The cosmos-s which i have actually failed their stress test  |

It was a reasonably good read, but I found their whole testing strategy flawed ... if a case didn't come with an exhaust fan they wouldn't install one and state it failed it's test - what self respecting PC builder, having just shelled out on an Intel Extreme chip and GTX280 is not going to install a few fans?

Yeah I think that was a bit flawed as well, since you can fit loads of extra fans in the cases they tested. I mean, the Antec 1200 and Spedo come fully loaded making it a bit skewed. Liked the idea though, the Thermal pictures gave a good insight into air flow and why it's important in high-end systems that I think a lot of people would think twice before neglecting it in their own builds.
Interested read. We're actually going to start stocking the Spedo now as well as we fit water-cooling in it... Mike Mike |

Yeah, they don't publish everything on the web - no one would buy the mag :-)
