I completed my very first home-build about 2 weeks ago. I too wanted a
'roomy' case for working in, I don't want to hide it out of sight in
some tiny area, bigger is better. BUT I didn't want to lug 30-40lb
steel case around, I often carry it back to my workroom to fiddle
with. What I picked was the GigaByte 3D Aurora
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811233013
It has an unneeded front door, big LED-ed fans and feet that swivel
out. A motherboard tray with marked holes for several various kinds of
mbs and a pretty good manual for a 1st-time builder. I'm pleased with
it except it is fairly overpriced.
