I hear a lot about the Antec 900, Coolermaster RC 690, and the NZXT TEMPEST. Or any others you know of.
My concerns are noise(which has me worried about antec 900). Of course, airflow/temp. Aesthetics are last(anything with a little bling has me satisfied). Oh, and I forgot, having everything fit, but I'm fairly certain above mentioned cases would be enough for my setup.
Cost would probably be up to, but not over $150.
Thanks in advance! Looking forward to replies.

looks like a solid build, i don;t have any knowledge of those cases, so i can't really help you with that... but im sure there are some cases out there that are designed for silence, and you can always get some scythe's with mediocre airflow to really quite things up
I have the Antec 900 and love it. It has great airflow, and has been a champ for me. You may want to check out the Antec 1200 - you can find it for around $150 and it's like a 900, but taller, more fans, fan filters, etc.
I hear good things about the Coolermaster, and the Tempest, but I do like the 900 personally. Have fun and good luck.

How quiet is your Antec 900? I wouldn't say I want super duper quiet, but I don't want it to be annoying. I wish I could ask you guys questions on the noise level in relation to everyday things. Like a car engine, lol. Of course it wouldn't be the loud, but I don't know what I could compare it to....
Hi ark300,
I'm thinking just like huron ,
I got the antec 900 either and its a great case, I have 5 fans inside ,
2 intake , 2 exhaust 1 on the thermalright ultra 120 extreme , there are all set on medium , and its a fair noise for a computer , needless to say I live in Israel and cases here are around 40 degress without any good cooling system, and mine sits good between 25 - 28 degrees (even in the summer) .
the only problem with this case is the dust which gets in so I just take the hover and suck all the dust out as I clean my room once a week.
I think you should really check this case out .
if you got any further question about this case I would be glad to help.
just e-mail me .. =]
i reckon the 900 is the fugliest thing ever created... tempest is not much better. although they both have superior cooling to the RC-690, i would probly get the 690 cause of the low cost and good looks
and the P182 is veeeeerrrrrrrryyyyyyy expensive lol
The 900 is not really all that loud with everything on medium. I actually like the look, but everyone has their own opinions on what looks good (hence what I believe are many ugly cars on the road).
