Hi. I need to buy a new case but choosing between the Antec 900 or Thermaltake V9. Which one is better? Will it accommodate a gtx 260 core 216 card? Thanks!
 
The Antec 900 is very popular with gamers. The case is often recommended by veteran posters at this forum. I haven't seen actual sales figures but from what I read I think the Antec 900 is one of the most popular cases.

Be forewarned that the 900 uses thumb screws to secure drives rather than rails. Other than that, its fairly roomy and moves LOTS of air.

Your 260 should fit in, though it may be a little tight. You might not want to have it sit directly across from an installed hard drive--though with the twin cages, I don't think you'll run into any issues

Just though I'd say that the V9 has dust filters whereas the 900 does not. Sorry, I know this thread is a few days old. Personally, I think I like the V9 better. 900 is more popular.
