Looks like someone took an Antec900 and made little changes to make it look worse than the 900.

Cases are like art. There are different tastes for different folks. I like the clean professional look without all the glitz. Something that would not be embarrassing to have in an office. I also really appreciate some of the more outrageous mods that took hundreds of hours of labor and some true artistic and engineering talent to create.

That is one sweet case you got... I love my new one too, a little wierd putting the PS on the bottom but it works out nice.

I liked the fact they gave me doors for the 5" bays.. I originally just stuck the DVD and Blue Ray in but it didn't look all that great with the nice finish on the case so I pulle the face plates and used the doors that came with it. It was perfect then.

Yea, i had seen those and kind of ignored them because they seemed like a cheap knockoff. i run a antec 900 and just built a friend a machine with a 900-TWO. but what cought my attention this time is this says it has TWO 230MM fans? and two 140MM front fans. thats significantly more then a 900. the 900 has the top 200 i think? and 2 "or 3" 120's, a side 120 and a rear 120. i stopped using the center front fan because the gtx-260 is just too long for it and it didnt seem to make much of a difference.

so yea, cheap knockoff or not, two 230's and two 140's i donno? maybe its got something to offer.

of course, theres always the antec 1200

You're like me, which is why I chose this case. All my friends have flashy NZXT cases with perspex panels and LED fans, all that doesn't appeal to me. I like a nice simple clean look. All those flashy cases all seem to be far behind the Gigabyte in build quality as well (I can stand on my case and it doesn't even show a strain, it also makes up a large proportion of my PC's 17KG weight)
