I am looking for a case to replace my wife's Tsunami case. Only requirements is cheap price with awesome airflow. weight, color, material, is of little concern.

What's your budget? Do you already have a power supply? How many exposed drive bays do you need? What size motherboard will go in it?

I like this one from Athenatech: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811190035

It has space for two 120mm fans and one 80mm fan, its completely tool less, has simple good looks and is only $50.

I've bought one of these for a system that I sold, I liked it and the person who got the computer liked it to.

That is the case I have. Once you get the case cramped with a full build, it really doens't offer much way for airflow. The hard drive cage in the lower front restricts intake air from the front fan. Yeah.. your hard drive stays kind of cool, but then what little air that makes it through is already heated up.

The tooless features of this case are nice. The case is perfect for someone that isn't looking for that "riced" out look. It kind of reminds you of an OEM manufacturers type of case.
I'm sure its not much better than the Tsunami or even up to par.
