In need of a new case

[carl25]

I'm torn between the p182 and the antec 900. Other recommendations are welcome as well

P182 is the way to go...

Coolermaster CM690 :D

p182 is a great case, i have one, however, make sure your psu has some long cords, to go up the back, behind the left panel, otherwise you will have to drape cords over the mobo...
look at Xclio, i just built one with this case, great airflow, cool design.

Silverstone tj07 or tj09

Coolermaster CM690 :D

with some little modds it's a veeery good case... my next case (i believe) but P182 ... :up:

If you are anywhere near a Micro Center, they have the CM690 for $19.99 after $30 off and a $40 MIR. The price is good through Feb 10th.

I've not worked with one, but they are nice and have a good feature set for the price. Tough to beat at $20!

Coolermaster CM690 :D

Seconded. And you can find some killer deals on them right now. Like $20 after rebate. MicroCenter is one place that comes to mind offhand. Got mine 2 weeks ago from ZZF.

Silverstone TJ07 is the best IMO if it fits your budget... it's quite expensive. P182 is good but is a really small and cramped case IMO.

Here's my 182 btw, just finished the window mod :)

I had a big XClio with the 25cm front fan and 25cf side fan. Now I have a Antec900. The xclio had the fans at max speed (no idea on their rated CFM) and my CPU fan on high to maintain a 38c idle in Vista. Now with the antec900, my case fans are all on low, and the CPU fan is on silent. Only fan on high is the 20cm top fan. Net result is that now I idle at 35c in Vista with all the same settings.

I would agree with the CM690, in my opninio, it's the best value/performance case :) And it doesn't look to bad either ;)

[Seer]

You could get the stacker 832 on newegg for about $100 after MIR

[Kosior]

p182 would be a great choice. I've bought recently a Gigabyte 3D Mars after waving between it and p182 - 3D Mars won - I loved the look of it.
They're both really good chassises. My suggest is Gigabyte :D

[carl25]

are people only saying the cm690 because of it's price ? and i don't live near a microcenter. I live in canada so i can't get it off newegg either.

I guess i'm going with the p182, oh and i have the corsair hx520

[teko]

Not only the price, but that is a factor as well ;) I just find it perfekt in all aspects except HDD mounting, as my raptor really makes vibrations :( But that is the only thing I would have liked different, the HDD anti vibration..

I got my p182 off of NCIX. I love the case, had a 900 before it, and I have to say that the p182 is in an entirely different league then the 900. Your PS cords will be long enough to route behind the mobo tray with that PSU
