I ended up buying the Thermaltake Chasar A71. The clincher was the
price. And the 200 mm side fan. I had had a Thermaltake case before
and liked the way they allow for a lot of air flow (that one was given
away). This case, just like most others, has the USB ports on the top,
my current case has them at the bottom and I'm surprised I haven't
broken them yet. The only structural negative is that the top has an HD
docking port which, sitting under the desk, will be useless. The case
arrived in one day (Amazon Prime) and there was one defect. With the
front cover installed, the reset switch was always depressed (yeah, it
moaned and complained...;-). It took only 10 seconds with a file to fix
the problem.
Thanks for all the help, guys!
