I think there should be a posting guideline to include location and/or a website where you can purchase compoenents when asking for suggestions. Without that every post is just going to be replied to with the same cases over and over, at that point there should just be a sticky that just says "GET XX BRAND/CASE!!!!". With that being said I'll assume you're in the US and theres an Arctic White C70 w/free shipping for $110 at Newegg, now that's a pretty compelling reason to choose it over the other cases.

760W 80Plus Gold would be enough for most upgrades but I would suggest getting the normal AX series and using the savings for some upgraded fans since you didn't mention owning a Corsair Link and getting the "i" series would have nearly no benefit.

That is the only way to get a window for the Trooper. Only the Stryker brings it stock and there arent any options for the matching side panel, I think TTL explained it in his review of the Stryker.

More than 2 expansion slots means not m-itx so you'd want m-atx but those seem to have a bit of a premium on them. Look for Silverstone cases or the Fractal Design Arc/Define Mini if you're looking for the more elegant/simple aesthetic and if you have the money check out Lian-Li's.

"*Get Key Codes for free downloads of BioShock Infinite (PC Game) and Crysis 3 (PC Game) accessed through the Steam® and EA Origin® online gaming platforms when you buy an AMD Radeon™ HD 7970, AMD Radeon™ HD 7950 or a AMD Radeon™ HD 7970 GHz Edition Graphics Card from a participating retailer between February 4th, 2013 and either December 31, 2013 or when supply of Key Codes is exhausted, whichever occurs first. " Guess it depends if the retailer you're going to be buying it from has any left.

Cleaner on the outside or on the inside? Inside they are pretty much the same other than the drive cage segments that are removable/repositionable anyways and both fit the H100i. On the outside, well, that is for your to decide.

I'm going to go away from everyone a bit and suggest the Cooler Master HAF XB. Cant get much more freedom with cables than that with the PSU being underneath. If you are looking for great cooling out of the box then I'd say go for a Silverstone Raven 2E maybe having your PSU in a different spot won't make your system seem "cramped". Don't bother with huge full towers if you aren't going to pack it with hardware it'll just look empty and the cables will look out of place no matter what. It doesn't matter how many cable managing options a case offers if you don't put the required time in to make it look nice. If it all comes down to aesthetics then simply pick the case you like the look of most without looking at bullet points and try your best to make it look great. Also any modern case(gaming more so) will have adequate cooling options for almost anything you can throw in there so try not to worry too much about it. Hope to see your system in a new home!

This is nice, cheap, and modular with 80+ Gold and enough wattage to handle what he needs, but I'm not certain on LEPA reliability -- anyone have any comments on this? Lepa should be as reliable as any brand it's just not as known in NA. That unit is made by CWT so it'll be fine.

Don't know if you're buying parts now and setting it all up in February or purchasing then but this seems like a good value right now http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817494007
