Antec or Gigabyte case!?!?!?

[adreen]

I have a couple choices on a case, not sure which yet.
From Antec:
P160W : http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=008646&cid=CS.664
P180 : http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=007333&cid=CS.664

Gigabyte:
3D Aurora : http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=008685&cid=CS.664

or anything else on the www.Canadacomputers.com site!

I'm really feeling the Gigabyte model...looks sweet as hell, and 3 big 120mm fans stock! Awesome blue glow too.
I'm looking for the most quiet case that can cool an OCed Opteron 165/x1900xt.
Any suggestions?

If there is a rebate involved with Antec, then dont buy it, that is all i have to say. They screwed me and i will never buy one of there cases again, never got my $40 rebate, they made up some bullshit excuse saying that i didnt purchase the case within the alloted time when if you looked at the receits that i have a copy of was right in the middle of it. If there is no rebate then go ahead and waste your money cus they arent bad at all, just the fact that i got screwed really pisses me off.

O and if you can find a good deal on a Coolmaster Stacker 830, get one, they are super... they have mounting points for up to 9x120mm fans. you want cooling, that's the case for you. 8) (cool)

I have the Antec P-180 with 4-120mm fans, and 1-80mm fan, all are Antec Tri-Cool fans running at full speed.

This case is SUPER quiet!

The only fan noise I really ever hear is my ATI X850XT fan during full load (gaming)

Whilst I don't have either, I have read some good reviews in regards to the P180 and it's my current case of choice should I upgrade anytime soon!

Here's one for the P160:

and 180:

Haven't seen the Gigabyte case before.

Both Antec's are solid, but I'm not too keen on the P180's wire routing system...makes me want to get a Modular PSU.
And the P160W only has 2 fans
Although both are excetionally quiet...
Hard choice.
I've been reading up on the Gigabyte 3D Aurora, getting amazing reviews. Quiet and awesome cooling with dual exhaust 120mm fans that run in near silence and provides a nice light show!
P180 and 3D Aurora are priced about the same...hmmMmmMmm
