Antec P180 case

This case looks so good. Check it out here and here. The Limited-Edition Black Anodized P180 is so sexy. $160 for this case is insane but this is probably the only case I will ever consider spending that much on when I know it could be used to get better parts. Combine this case with a Antec Phantom 500 PSU and it will OWN.

looks cool but i can bet that it is cheaply built and will not have good cooling ect.

You'd lose that bet. Antec cases are some of the best made cases available and their cooling set up is usually first rate. For $160 you definitely don't get a cheaply built case with lousy cooling.

Yeah I was gonna say that I've looked at a lot of cases lately at various local retailers and I don't think I've seen any that were over $100 and not built pretty solid. I finally found a case that I like in every aspect but it's $270!
