i am going to buy an aluminum case, any comment on Antec Lanboy? the price is right and it comes with the smartblue 350 power, should i keep my zalman 300w? basically i just want a aluminum case for better cooling, i can give the Antec psu to my brother.
thanks

Well, it dents easily. Heh. The PSU seems fairly quiet to me. You can open the case fan hole in the rear to 92mm easily with a tin snip. The side panel is a tight fit with no rattles. I like mine.

Aluminium has almost NO effect on cooling!! (when used in cases that is).

The single most important thing for cooling is having a good airflow !!

Correct. An Aluminum case will not give you better temps. The only real benefit is it looks cooler, and it weighs a hell of a lot less than steel. But, they tend to be flimsy and dent easily.
