I decided not to go the true-Jedi way with this computer, and just bought a windowed case off the shelf rather than making my own. The Lian Li PC-65 is closely related to their very popular PC-60; it's aluminium, it's got a ton of drive bays (four 5.25 inch and eight 3.5 inch), it's got two intake fans and one exhaust fan mounted as standard, it's got a slide-out motherboard tray, and it's... well, it's not cheap exactly, but it's not as expensive as Lian Li cases used to be. Aus PC Market here in Australia sell it for $AUD412.50 including delivery in the Sydney area; delivery elsewhere for cases costs more.
