I've got one of these.http://www.newegg.com/Product/...29017

antec p180b. It's a nice case, fits everything it's supposed to. VERY QUIET with the 120mm fans, which was one of the things i was looking for with my last build.

Only gripe is because of the case layout initial wiring can be a pain. But if you get a modular cabled power supply you can cut down on the clutter alot.

Ive got the same antec case linked above, I love it. Best antec case hands down. Very easy to minimize clutter to have a very open case. Very easy to clean. Shoot, Im a fanboy...

I was looking at the 900 too but it looks like it was a dust magnet with al lthe ventilation... but i'm sure you never ever have to worry about heat issues...

I'm not having any dust problems yet and I've had it since the beginning of August.

I have an Antec 900 for my gaming rig. Literally, EVERYTHING is overclocked and it doesn't break a sweat moving enough air. I did, however, replace the 120's with aftermarket ones that pushes more cfm. Kinda loud now though. Wasn't at first with the stock fans.And yes, it is a dust magnet. As is anything that flows a lot of air. I just unhook it, and take it to the garage. My 50 gallon 6hp air compressor just laughs at the dust.

Antec are ok it doesnt have enough space, I like the Coolermaster CM Stacker more.

but for the next build, i really want to get the Lian-Li PC-343B case. it supports 30Tb storage raid setup. if i ever do, you all get 100Gb web storage each. LOLwoow work of art. all aluminum.

Lian-Li cases are always so simple and nice but pricey. I love my antec 900 though,

Antec cases are very nice. Nice built and pretty good warranty. I had big power supply issues (check reviews online...) with mine. Supposedly they starting loading their cases with defective power supplies. I went thru 2 power supplies on mine and gave up, end up getting a completely new PS. Their warranty rules but it sucks having to ship/wait weeks for a new one to get to you.
