Is there such thing as a perfect gaming computer case?

I was thinking of getting the Thermaltake Xaser but I don't like how it has the power supply at the top because it is covering the top fan. Also, if you were to put the power supply at the bottom, then you wouldn't be able to have fans on the bottom. I like the Xaser because it has 10 expansion slots and it's E-ATXso it's big enough for an EVGA x58 classified but I don't like the fans at the top being covered up. Are there any perfect computer cases out there?Is there such thing as a perfect gaming computer case?
Coolermaster HAF 932 is considered the best case right now, has the best airflow definitely.

Stay away from Powercolor, PCCHIPS, Jetway, TuL





Keep yourself grounded to prevent static discharge

I take it then that you have a doctorate in in electronics enclosure design with a specific emphasis on cooling?





Like it or not commercial cases are generally well designed and cooling is considered from the outset in much greater depth than your superficial analysis. A properly designed system does not need multiple case fans to keep everything cool, even for a performance machine.
yes, i have an antic with 5 fans, 1 big one. its got blue LEDs in the front. the power supply is on the bottom and also has blue LEDs. its pretty sick, but if you want to go all out check out vigor gaming computers. they are the best.
Antec cases are my favorite.





It really depends on your idea of perfect.


you probably know this but try





Getting a full tower most have extra space for stuff





If you can find one with that many expansion slots than yes it would be perfect.
Any case with liquid cooling will be best.
