Antec P180 gets my vote, mainly because i have one and its amazing

I've got an Antec P180 and it gets my vote of confidence so long as you're on air: Things have got a little cramped since switching to water, (The Rad's out the back), so if you think you're ever going in that direction, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.
The only other issue with the P180 is having a power supply with leads long enough to reach the four pin power socket. I originally had a Zalman 400W PSU which worked fine, but had to hunt around a bit for a new PSU when I upgraded. Ended up getting an Enermax liberty (500W) which works great. Think the OCZ PSU's also work okay, although the case fan that blows onto the PSU has to be swapped out to fit it in. The other compatible option was the Antec neo HE, but this seems to have issues that caused lots of people grief and is definately not recommended if you have an Asus board. There's a full discussion of PSU's and the Antec P180 in the anandtech forums at this address: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=37&threadid=1815451&enterthread=y

Will a pc power & cooling 850 fit in a P180?

[Nouseforaname]

PC P+C 850 dimensions are 5.9" x 3.4" x 9.1", so i would seriously doubt it, though you may do it by sawing up the case. ;)

Anti dust.. errr the older lian li's with the dust filters? they seem to be quite well performing...

Note: Dust filters usually end up with more noise

my zippy 700watt fits, i think it is about the same size as a ppc 850.

You have to remove the lower 120mm fan, and that allows the extra space.

it isnt neat, but it works.

I have a dust issue too but I love my stacker. the front grill loads up quickly and the foam inside does not do much.

Same issues with the Chenbro, especially if there is alot of smoking. The front filter will collect fast, I blow it out maybe twice a month. Does a great job keep the dust out of the system though.

I got some of these for my new UFO case.

Going to be insteresting to see how they work, if it gets to bad, i'll add some nylon stockings behind them.

Let us know how that turns out for you as I have been looking at a MM case for a while now.

same issue areas with the 3-4s behind them build up dust so quickly though i wouldnt say the filters behind the mesh dont do their job because i havent had any dust building up inside the case

do yo u have the crossflow fan installed? if so theres the reason for ur dust buildup, no filters on the side intake

[Crazy Chuckster]

No I dont have the crossflow installed and I have the side and bottom taped off. I use a windowed side panel so the only area of intake for me is the 2 hard drive fans and I am getting lots of dust.
