Antec 300 should work okay but your internal 3.5in drives will be limited to two unless you use 5.5in adapters.

Antec 900/1200 and p182 are good choices.


This is good news for me since I'm rocking the P180B which is identical to the P182. I'm planning on upgrading my card this Christmas. Believe it or not I'm doing a usability study on widescreen gaming for college.

Fitting SLI 260's in the P180 might be quite a task. Not impossible, but will certainly take some thinking, and some fantastic cable management.

My Silverstone TJ07 has grown on me massively over the last six months. That's a good case, but a touch expensive. ;)

You're supposed to mount the PSU upside down. :wink:
I knew that, but I couldn't stand it and I still consider it's a flaw in an otherwise outstanding case model.

Live from my stubborn brains :
Airflow must travel through the case from front/down to back/up.
PSU musn't hang on its "head" and feed on heated air.
That's what me thinks, so that's why me cut bottom of case. :evil:

Thanks guys. Someone put me onto the Cooler Master HAF-932 so I'm tossing up between either that or the Antec 1200.

HAF932 and Antec 1200 are both good cases. You wont go wrong with either one. Another one worthy of consideration is Cooler Master's ATCS 840.
