I just bought an Antec 900, and though I like it, I am looking for an upgrade. I am not sure whether I should upgrade or not, since if I keep my Antec 900 I will have to mod it for decent cable management, which is a major pain. The only possible contestant I can find that might be better or as good as the Antec 900 is the Thermaltake Kandalf LCS. My question is this, since I can not find any decent reviews of the case I wonder if it is worth it? Also I wonder if the Kandalf LCS version can be modded with the 25cm side fan panel, though I can not think of as reason why not, but I find myself worried since it does not seem to come with it stock according to the Thermaltake website.
I had the Kandalf and I hated it for 3 years. Although massive, it is incredibly cramped inside, which I find puzzling. My side panel also came with glue residue on the plastic window and when I tried to clean it off it destroyed the plastic and they would not let me RMA it... I would generally advise to stay away from thermaltake cases. Antec 4 life.
Consider going with the thermaltake armor. It is huge, has great airflow, and looks very impressive. Mostly tool-less as well. Review here: http://www.overclockercafe.com/Rev [...] /index.htm Hope this helps
Armor is used by many modders. Google the case, add the word review. And try OC forums and xtreme forums. Look for the case mod forums, spend a few hours at min, you will see a few there.

You could always look at RAIDMAX.I have a SMILODON case by RAIDMAX and I find I have lots of room.Not to mention the ease of trouble shooting and replacment of hardware,as both sides open from the top,opening up like wings.This makes it a lot easier to replace any parts that need replacing.Goodluck.
