Re: What's your favorite case?

I have been using the antec P180 for the last 3 years and am extrememly happy with it. Its the best case I have ever owned. Its an upside down design meaning the PS is on the bottom. But that whole section (which includes the HD bays in the front) is partitioned off from the main MB area so that the heat from the PS andHDs is dealt with seaperatly. Over all its a great design with a great deal of room inside. I will be keeping this case for a while.
I have a Antec P180 as well and I really like the modular pull out bays and the built in fans and the overall quietness of the case.

The only negative issue I have with the full size case with a power supply located on bottom of the case is you need an power cable extension to reach the DVD-ROM.

Other than that this is a rock soild case that will be in use for many years.

Another P180 fan here. In my case no issues with the power connector reaching the upper drive bays. Power supply being used is a Corsair HX750. Only real issue I have is such a snug fit between the fan and the modular connectors for the power supply.

---Added---
I have been also a fan of the Antec 1030 case. »www.tweaktown.com/reviews/15/ant···dex.html

Only real thing I dislike about it is how fragile the upper hinge for the door is.
