The one he chose is fine, the main thing for a case is that you find it attractive! (providing it has at least a intake and exhaust fan!)

Well the reason I chose the Soprano is because its stylish. I know, since im having a gaming rig I should have something with better airflow but I dont think I will be doing any over-clocking and the look of the Soprano drags me to buy it :P

exactly the case is not much more than a fashion statement and has next to no impact

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149222 Cm690 With blue window Extra money more Stylish And for nvidia fan it just slytish that change
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149224 (NVIDIA stylish edition)


are you from uk ?if you want Fashionperformance on the same Level as Cooler master 690 there is an altnerative but the money is expensive Antec 1200
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/143852
I tend alway to Critic Build of other user just like anyone ;) i give opinion if you want someting that cold easy to install inside look well the CM 690 wide side panel is a great deal cause you can see ur inside with leds unlike the Sopranos  nothing can be more stlyish then a open case with leds that you buy for 3-4Euros / pound afterward ;)

I am from the UK. The Antec is very nice but it goes over my limit unfortunately. Ill probably end up going with the nVidia edition CM690. Thanks

ok it you that want to spend the extra for look ;) i don't critize peopel who seek style and performacnes at same time ;)
becasue nvidia / cm 690 with panel are the same beside color :D enjoy ur build as well i got tip if you seek to overclock get a cpu cooler it easy to be done overclocking with one of the Two motherboard Ga-P45 series / P5Q or P5q PRo from asusOverclockign give Extra boost in gaming example E8400 Stock 3.0ghz is is 7-15fps behind Qx9770 But once overclocekd to 3.6ghz to 3.8ghz to even 4.0ghz if it cold enough in ur room well you can get it overpass the QX9770 Stock
and corei 920 /940 / 965

btw found you a better motherboard you can take a look on it p43 vs p45

again far away of Antec 900 / Cm 690 / Antec 1200 / Thermatlek armor JR+ Design don't alway mean performances :P some make a good looking case but when you look specificiotn no front fan : lack of fan on the top
(a 200mm exhaust) / Front 120mm : inside case a another fan& can be put : On the Left side there the Side vent and ont he right side> push cold air on the cpu possiblity nice stuff aint it ? cm 690 is a great moddable case with the side window you can make it esthetical by add led such as the one you just shown me
it really easy ;) it only a Really Bright BLue led that give the case a nice inside looking else cm 690 is Stylish with is Grid Il; show you close picture of cM 690 (cooler master 690 from cooler master the one of nvidia come with a side vent tainted green plastic window instead of (Pure Transparancy White) Window pannel It look more cool the nvidia edition but the price is higher as well right; the t the nzxt you being looking it not good as Cooler master 690 / but similary to sopranos maybe

Pros:

+ Decent stock cooling
+ Water cooling pass trough's included
+ Stylish look including the NVIDIA logo and side window
+ Removable hard drive racks for easy upgrades & maintenance
+ Space for up to six 120mm fans
+ SLI ready chassis

Cons:

- Front and top panels difficult to remove
- A little cramped inside
- The bezel and top could have a better mounting design
- Poor port and button placement
