Is it a really new case you need. I'd suspect you have other cooling issues. Perhaps you are overclocking too much, or something isn't mounted properly? Can you believe the temperatures your motherboard sensors are suggesting? Are things like the CPU cooler block mounted properly? Are all fans spinning, and if so at what speeds - unless it sounds like something is going to take off the cooler fans aren't close to doing their job.

I use a very basic AKASA case that I got for something like £30. It just has fans at the front and rear, top PSU and a stock cooler on the Q6600 CPU and ATI 4870 GPU. It's also got 4 HDs. It does just fine.
