What type of computer case do you recommend for build a high end gaming computer, that has usb, firewire, and eSATA ports and is relatively large

the 2 most popular gaming cases out there, as i mentioned, are the Antec 900, and the Thermaltake Armor aluminum. There's plenty of other out there, those 2 are just the popular ones. The 900 doesnt have front panel eSATA..armor does.

I have a Cooler Master Cosmos 1000
It's quiet, has 4 top USB ports as well as firewire and E-sata. Lots of room to work with, and plenty of room for fans. Also, it has tool-less install for most of the drives. It's really heavy, but the newer Cosmos are made with aluminum, so you can check those out...
