What do you think of these two cases? They are very similar in features:

>Good cooling
>Dual PSU
>ATX and ATX
>Full tower
>Aluminum
>Removable motherboard tray
>Winows in side panel (see below)

1) The Silverstone TJ07, as I would more or less have it, mine would be red not pink, but you get the idea:

^ Silverstone TJ07 with system built in it.


2) The Lian-Li PC-A71B, I would purchase the top panel mod that allows for 2 120mm fans to be installed and the side panel mod that has a window in it. It would look like this, with 2 fans on top:

I own an Antec 900, yes I am upgrading. I will accept any comments really, also what Cooler Master case had dual PSUs?? I can not figure out which one it is. Also the door is removable on the Lian-Li so I will update my original post with a picture of it without the door.

CoolerMastr Stacker TO-1 has the dual PSU,fits all MB's even the large multi CPU MB's,11 bays.
It is also the one you can install the optional Crossflow Fan that draws cool air from the side of the case and moves it over the whole MB in a 1" high wave.
The rear fan grill comes off with 4 screws boosting airflow over 80%.

Still the most functional and best cooling case made.
These are the cases I have listed in my profile...systems have 50% OC and only reach 4C over room air with air cooling.

I would go with either the Stacker or the Lian Li both are reputable well built cases. although if you were in the 200 range on a case i would go with this instead.

Lol, sure its not totally pretty, but 10-120 mm fans, and 2 seperate computers in the case not to mention the hardrive capabilities is something that catches the eye.

I've used a TJ09, and it was built well... but so is my file cabinet. Cooling and just general feel/looks of the case were disappointing. It really just comes down to the specifications and I should have been more picky, like now.

Yeah people actually spend over $200 on a case, those people who don't want to upgrade their case in 10 years or so, saving a lot of money. So yeah, people do spend over $200 for a case, just because you can not, or did not does not mean that its dumb to want something that will last, when every other thing in a computer is changed out.

You know, the motherboard 10 years from now might not fit the screw placement on the case's backplate. Cases from 10 years ago don't fit now. :kaola:

 

There are lots of things to spend the extra $150 on, like... a faster cpu. :p

Sure it might not fit, thats why god invented a dremel and a tap. That way you can drill your own holes, tap them, and presto installation is a snap after that, next time come up with a better argument.

Why would you "upgrade" you're case.... what's wrong with a Antec 900? Spend your money on a fancy dinner w/ you're girlfriend. Save it for a trip. Donate to a charity. Or at least SLI something or upgrade your computer! Who cares about the case??
