buy an Antec 900. Cheaper, IMO better looking, and it will keep whatever you put inside, cool.

the NZXT one looks real nice and can put 4 fans on the side but will be more noisy. yeah.. get the antec 900. its looks better then the other 2. if i wasnt on a budget and has space, i would get the cooler masters cosmos 1000 and reduces sound for the 4 120mm fans its has but, i would liked a front fan to bring air in.

I agree with the 900 but if I were going to war, I'd get the XCLIO, would scare the hell out people :)

I personally like this XCLIO over the one you picked out. It's got some monster cooling, and it's only $20 more than your choice.

I love the Antec 900. Built a computer for a client with one and when my wife saw the case she said "Why don't we have one of those?" I explained it was twice as expensive as our Centurian 534. She said "So? Buy another one of these for us." So, the Antec 900 is "wife approved", for what that's worth.

See if you can get the CoolerMaster Stacker 830 for $160 like I got it. It's easily one of the best cases I've ever used at any price point. It beats out cases that cost hundreds of dollars more.

CeBIT 2008: Silverstone: high end cases

Published on March 10, 2008

Even if Silverstone still aims at high end cases in aluminum, we noticed a big change. The manufacturer unveiled numerous PC Home Theater cases the previous years, but was much less enthusiastic this year, like its competitors. It seems this kind of product is growing out of style. We just found a mainstream unnamed prototype meant to come out in June. Read more
