Some things to check for casing before u buy..

1) USB connectors - See if the casing is already up-to-date with the physical cables to hook up the front USB 3.0 to the onboard USB 3.0 connector

2) Adequate space and airflow - Make sure there is enough clearance to slot in your graphics card..

3) Position of PSU in casing.. Some older ones might still have it on top.. Most people like it at the bottom.. In case it's not secure and fall.. But I think that probability is quite small for well-known brands..

4) Google for their front panel earphone and mic jacks if you are using them.. Some are pretty bad and noisy.. Have no such problem with CM casings yet though..

5) Cable management architect - Lots have it nowadays.. Those holes on the side that u can route your cables to the back to hide it.. Brands like Corsair and CM all have it..

6) Extra stuffs you might like - Tool-less design.. Means you don't really need to use the screw driver a lot.. Corsair series even have built in stand-offs for your mobo.. So u only need to screw it in..

Umm.. Dunno if i miss anything else.. :s13:

Fractal Design if you like a minimalist case to host all your components. Define R4/Define Mini come with preinstalled fans and more for you slot to zhng to your heart's content.

And they're heavy. Very heavy. So might want to bring a trolley or something when you go SLS :s13:
