Opinions, reviews on this case please`

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811156087

I'm not a wild n crazy neon kinda guy but this is a pretty damn good deal (<$40 after MIR) on this case at lease based on overall Newegg reviews. Has anyone used one of the Sagitta cases or have any opinons on them?

I REALLY liked this Antec case and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811129018 the deal of $40 after $50 MIR but several reviews pointed out cheesy power button as being a frequent problem.

Thanks again, guys!!

i know a lot of people like windowed cases but i personally dont. (P-180B all the way :D )
also not a big fan of the rather bulky-looking case door.
if that Sagitta doesnt have a lot of sound bleeding then i'd say go for it if you really like it.

i'd get the Antec though :)

Yeah, I really like the Antec, too. I've used their PSUs for years with never a problem. The power button complaint on this one just makes me nervous. I want to do my new build ASAP so I need all the rebates I can get my hands on and to minimize my initial outlay.

God I'm a cheapskate. Actually I'm not, really. I just have the dubious honor of paying off all the debts of my wife's ex so there's just not much cash to play with. (Let's just say he used her name to piss off the IRS :axe: )

Honestly, no. I've been burned by Best Buy so many times in the past that now I don't even consider them. Guess I should get out of that habit, huh? :oops:

In any event, I decided on the Antec case. It's a cool-looking case and I trust the name. It'll be here in a couple of days for $50 after shipping and MIR

I don't know what you think, but Antec case is STEEL and it is MID tower.....

At same price (no REBATE), rocketfish case is ALUMINUM and FULL tower .....

Which one is better? .... I leave it to you ... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
