Advantages: Low noise, very good airflow + cooling, easier cable management, stylish
Disadvantages: High price, better airflow available

...do this - hardly convenient! Antec has managed to enable the odd layout to support more PSUs than the P180, and the cable routing options have been vastly improved, allowing for a cooler, and therefore faster or quieter, computer. Having said all of this, for maximum airflow (and price) other cases, such as the Antec Nine Hundred, provide a better option, with the disadvantage of more noise, worse looks and fewer of the little touches Antec have ...

Advantages: Innovation with a Decent Price Tag
Disadvantages: Nothing

The Antec P180 has been around for a long while now, and with the launch of the Antec 900 aimed specifically at gamers, Im here to suggest that you might want to re-think that purchase. The interior of the P180 is truly innovative, with the power supply unit located at the bottom of the case instead of the top, it has it's own 120mm fan, which is around 38mm thick, to suck cool air from the front of the case, over the hard drives (too cool them) ...
...come with one 80mm), but antec have been generous, and being multi-level fans with speed control they've been super generous. One of these 120mm fans acts as an exhaust for hot air in the roof, to loose that heat also there is another fan placed in the rear of the case aswell. So 3 multi-function fans for "free" in this amazing case. There is also more space, yes more space for another 120mm fan to be fitted to the front of the case below the 5.25in ... Read review

Advantages: Quiet, solid, good cooling
Disadvantages: Big, heavy, expensive

...but its also a custom Antec one that's 2 inches deep). In front of this is Hard drive area number one, which uses an innovative, though fiddly, cage system to mount the drives. The drives themselves are mounted on rubber grommets that really quieten them down. There is another HD cage above this, although it sadly is not actively cooled, unlike the one next to the PSU. Both hard drive cages mount the drives in a bonkers sideways fashion - why I'm ...
...I'm sure the people at Antec know what they are doing. I should mention that all the fans have very smart speed settings, they are not just "on or off", there is a selector switch on each fan to go "low" "medium" or "high". Unless you're running really hot components *cough* Pentium *cough* it's best to leave them as they are. Over the mainboard there is a giant bit of plastic, meant to cool the GPU. It's like an air duct. There is space to mount ... Read review

Advantages: Great looks, easy installation, nice features, low price.
Disadvantages: Not made entirely out of aluminum.

The time finally arrived, when I was to build myself a brand new computer. Something I've always found very exciting, and therefore I decided to spend alot of time preparing and researching, so that I would be sure to buy the right components. I was going for a high-end gaming PC, but with a low price in mind. Soon, I had selected all of the components, and it was time to decide which case I would install it in. To me looks were important. I started ...
...decided that it was to much money. Then my eyes fell on this beauty. Black. Silver. And with blue lights. Good quality build, and furthermore, it was cheap. Sold! And the case lived up to my expectations. It DID look great, and the feel of quality was undeniable. A nice finish and a good paint job. Sure, it isn't Lian Li, but I can't say that I have ever regretted going with this one instead. The installation was easy and pretty much tool-free. ... Read review

Advantages: Great Ventilation and very simple
Disadvantages: fans suck in a lot of dust, so must be cleaned regularly

Let me just say that for £30 pounds or so, this case is extremely good value What is obvious from the first moment you see this case is the amount of ventilation that it has built in, there two holes on the side, as well as the whole of the front of the case is virtually one big ventilation grill, which allows for good airflow throughout the case and therefore makes it perfect for applications such as gaming where high airflow is needed. The price ...
...£30, and with that you get a case that has the option of up to 4 5.25inch drives and 5 3.25 inch drives (2 exposed0, so space shouldnt be a problem for most applications. The aesthetics of the case are fantastic with a smooth black finish all over , and silver plastic pieces, which are of 5 star quality as you would expect from coolermaster. Although this case does not include a psu, it does include 2 120mm fans at the front and rear. the front ... Read review
