I'll second a vote for the Antec P180 case with just a decent
fan/heatsink cooler.  I switched to this case for a 3GHz P4 system that
you could have heated the house with and it cooled things down greatly.
 Not to mention, quiet as a mouse.  Just don't ever think about using it
for a portable desktop, it weighs a couple tons.
