Well its come to that time where I need a new case. I've done a fair bit of research and have narrowed my options down to two contenders, ONLY because of their reasonable pricing and availability. The two cases I've come up with are both Antecs, The "Nine Hundred" and the "P180". The P180 doesn't look too appealing on the outside but has a nice looking internal layout with the PSU on the bottom, and the side removable drive trays. The HD drive tray also has pre-installed rubber grommets to reduce hard drive vibration and noise which is another big plus. The Nine Hundred on the other hand has it's pros too. It comes with 4 large fans (3X 120MM, 2 for intake 1 for exhaust, and a whopping 200mm exhaust fan on the top). All the fans have blue LED's which would go very well with ocz modstream psu. It has basically the same internal layout as the P180 but without the "chamber" setup which is kind of questionable cause when you look at one of these cases with the psu in em you really begin to wonder if it gets adequete airflow being so confined there, and it lacks the HD grommets The one thing I really dislike on the P180 is the front door, I'd rather just have direct access to the drives. Any thoughts on this?
