how about this PC Tower

[cumminbk]

I want to build a new system what are the thoughts on this case. I want a huge case that will last many many years. This one upgrades to BTX once everything switches to that from current ATX

I have the Antec P180 and Zxian has a Stacker. There are only a few things I dislike about my case.

1. It's heavy (but how often do I really need to move it, unless I go to a LAN party or something.

2. The inner design is kinda iffy, but it's built for airflow/ventilation.

3. The front panel and side panel are a bit flimsy. I removed the front panel because it restricts the airflor of the front 80mm fan. There are two air filters on the front which I love. There is a 120mm fan on the back as well as the top so you could actually get two fans of slower RPM and having both of those as exhaust fans compensates for slower fans (I like quietness). There's a lot of room inside the case. I don't have to twist and turn at all inside.

For info on the Stacker, ask Zxian. His Stacker is half his size, lol.

ya it is heavy, but i never move mine..

80mm fan? it really is a great case once you figure out the cable managment

it really is a great case once you figure out the cable managment

yeah, well, there's more to a case than how you arrange cables. But I have mine "managed" pretty well if I do say so myself. I should take new pics. Not that I'm trying to show off or anything...

[ripken204]

well my cable managment is showing off. but that was the biggest problem with this case.
