JD That case is totaly... wierd...
One of my regets is not getting a case with extra elbow room.
Also don't get one with a flap on the front, it messes everything up.
I have a Lian-Li PC-V1000, which is lightweight, has really good ventilation, heaps of room, and a good build.
its only real disadvantage is its price, however.
it's pretty horrible looking, in my opinion, but sounds like a solid case. The best advice you're going to find is right there in those customer testemonials.
i would have thought that OCing it would void the warranty, so wouldnt trust the fact that you will be able to get broken parts replaced. changing cases probably voids it as well, if HP are anything like Dell.
The thing with the hp warranty is that i just gota call them on the phone. Make up some excuse or a way to show them the part is fried. Blame it on the poor ventilated case and tada they ship it out and i givem theres back. Dont even have to ship the entire computer. Already broke a drive on here and np replacin that...
