Hi people,
has any got the above PC case as I am interested in getting it or an Antec P180. I was going to get a Thermaltake Aqulia, however it does not accomadate the new GPU 8800 cards. so I am hoping to get a future proof case


Cheers

I had a quick read of them and it seems everyone has been more than happy with it

looks a nice case

Personally, I think it's an ugly bastard of a case - but that's simply a matter of personal preference :)

Functionally, it appears to push the right buttons. It seems roomy and relatively easy to install the components and I like the way that the fan cables have been tucked away to save one the trouble of doing it oneself - not enough to make me want to buy one but as far as practicality goes, it's doing pretty good.

yep - it's ugly alright.

I still don't think you can go wrong with the P180 for what you need to be honest. The 8800gtx does fit, you just have to put the drives in a different bay.

Some times the case that has everything is not the most prettyest !
Shame really.
I am tempted with this one or the Antec P180

You're not wrong there.

The best case I have as far as practicality goes is the Akasa Eclipse. It's like a warehouse inside and the cooling is excellent but it's not particularly pretty - it's not ugly as such but it's very plain. It's just basically a box with a computer inside.
