[Edit] Oops this was intended for Richard.

Dave Hansen likes the Antecs. I don't know if those deadbeats have put an exploded view on their site yet (like I TOLD them to).

I have an Addtronics full tower and like it a lot (it's very similar to the supermicro since Addtronics actually makes the sm cases) although I have a very basic system and would probably be happy with almost anything. Mine has a removable mobo tray but I think they don't make them removable anymore.

I don't see how you're going to avoid cabling congestion with any case since they all start at the mobo, so there's going to be a traffic jam there. I did read somewhere that someone has come up with a round ide cable (why didn't I think of that?).

I don't have huge cooling needs, but my scheme is to leave the side off and place the fan on the vid card. If every once in a while you order a BP6 and then send it back it gives you a chance to clean off your BH6 (amazing dirt accumulation with dogs in the house that go to the park, swim, etc. every day).

ars likes the addtronics cases. Here's the review:
