I need a case w/ lots of motherboard area

[TrackMan]

I have a asus cusl2, and I _didn't_ try to put a water cooler in there, becasue water and electronics don't mix, right? Anyways, when I _didn't_ try to put it in, I found it wouldn't fit because I had to point the tubes upward, and the power supply is right there and made them kink.

Now I need a new case. I was thinking about the antek 1030, but am not sure if it has the ~13-14 vertical inches in the case that I need(12 inches for the board, and a couple more inches so the tubes don't kink).

Is the antek a good choice? or would something else be better? I don't want to spend over 100, but will if I need to becasue I don't want to buy another case right away. also, I will be keeping the radiator and pump and resivior outside the case, so I don't need it big enough to house that stuff. all i need it vertical height.

I posted this in the overclockers.com forums, and nobody replied <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0"> You guys have always pulled through for me, and I hope you will again.

for a good case for a mid tower or full tower you will end up spending $80+ I just got a aluminum mid case for $150 which came with a 300 watt supply. I would just goto any local computer vendor and pick out any case that suits you.

Best case I have found is the Fong-Kai 603. I have four of these in my house(2 Abit BE6-2's, 1 Asus p4t, and 1 cusl2-c) great case, large internal area, removable drive bays, toolless entry. You can get it for about 72 dollars including shipping if you look. Find retailers at www.fkusa.com and go to dealers. There will be a list. I had to order one this way because Supercom stopped selling them.
