Computer Case/Tower

I have recently bought the following items for my new computer.

Motherboard: Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe

Procesor: AMD Athlon 64 4000+ 2.4GHz San Diego

Memory:1 GB (2 pcs 512MB) DDR (400) PC-3200 Corsair w/LED Display (TWINX1024-3200XLPRO)

Video Card: eVGA GeForce 7800 GTX KO 256MB

Hard Disk :Western Digital 74 GB SATA 10K Raptor (WD740GD)

Now I need a good place to put this bad boy into. What is a good computer case/tower for cooling? What should I buy to keep this bad boy cool? CPU fan? other fans?

thanks!

personally i like these cases and actually i have 1 http://www.thermaltake.com/xaserCase.../wingomenu.htm
the link to myn is http://www.thermaltake.com/xaserCase/WinGo/v7000a.htm
this case is excelent and id recomend it. it has 5 fans in the case that come with it 3 with filters which are very easy to clean and help keep the dust manageble. also it has 3 fans that light up and also has 2 fan controlers on the front of the case. id really recomend this case and i dont think you will be disapointed if you get it!!

if it doenst have a power supply then u can find a seperate power supply and install it. i would recommend going to a power output calculator to determine exactly how much power u need so u can choose the proper supply for your system(before u buy a tower). try this link for a calculator. i was instructed to look at the power output listed as continuos when deciding if the PSU can handle your system when deciding on a new PSU
