Just checking out some now for you, be right back with some links and pics. Smile Hopefully we can find you something nice in AU. Oh, and I guess you are just running some generic motherboard setup? So it wont matter which type of case? How old is your pc?

Here is what i found so far:

MWAVE seems to have the best selection so far.

Here's some other links:

I guess you'll be going for any ATX case.

PC is about 2 years old but is using a mix of gear my video card is too big for this case realistically that I have here.

Motherboard is ASRock N68-s3 UCC
Graphics Card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX280

The INWIN D-Frame is pretty cool I must admit, but I wouldn't expect the best cooling capability. Personally I have the CoolerMaster Storm Stryker and am loving it so far, lots of room for graphic cards like the GTX690 which don't fit in all cases. There's air filters on the top and bottom, and switchable drive bays for extra cooling as well.
