Looking to buy a new computer case with good airflow

I am looking to buy a new computer case because I am currently using a crappy Xion which the door broke off on and many other problems.

I need something with good air flow, that's pretty quiet but I don't want to sacrifice performance for that, and something that looks decently well. My budget is $150 max which includes shipping.

I have been looking at the Antec P180 and the Antec Ninehundred.

One more question, whats the difference, besides looks, between the P180 and the P182 case?

What do you need to put in the case? If you need more than 4 hard drives and a 8800gtx, then you need a larger case like the ones you referenced. The P182 is an updated version of the P180. There are several small details that make it a better case, and I would prefer it even though it costs a bit more. If you don't need a large case, then look at the Antec Solo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811129018 For a review of the Antec 900, and a cooling vs noise comparison with the Solo, look at this:

Shipping for a case can be expensive, so it pays to check your local store to see if you like the case, and avoid shipping. Sometimes Antec will have the case you want as a "B" stock item. Techonweb often has antec cases at a reasonable price .

The primary difference is that the P182 allows for routing cables behind the motherboard tray. This can cut cable clutter a lot if you have the cable length for it. It also adds fan-speed switches on the back panel for the top and rear fans (in the P180 the switches simply hung from the fans, inside the case), and two rubber-grommeted back-panel holes intended for watercooling tubing.

Otherwise the P180 and the P182 are identical. Besides looks.

While I am a Lian-Li junkie myself, I built a system into an Antec P150 (the Solo but in white) for my mother and stepfather; I was impressed with its build quality and amazed at its quietness.

How big is your mobo?
I got a X-QPACK2 m-ATX case recently, and despite what I consider a high price ($84?) think it will be worthwhile.

Pros: open design for a m-ATX case, with a rear 120mm fan and a front 80mm fan. Room for a full size+ ATX PSU (like the Mushkin modular). The mobo tray slides out, and the HD cage comes off too. Its carrying handle feels sturdy.
Cons: very thin and flexible when apart, with some sharp edges. Included PSU is a lightweight even though the specs look decent (why I got another Mushkin).

I bought the plain black one, but this case is also available with side windows. If you care, you may then appreciate that the fans have blue LEDs. They connect with a Molex, so they run full speed, but they were pretty quiet when I tested with the case closed.

I have a Brand new Antec Sonata II case with a 450 watt power supply included for sale. $88.00 shipped!
PM me if you're interested.

Don't think you'll beat this case for airflow in a hurry. 8O
