looking for a case with...
alright people! i've been looking around for a good, cool-running case that's sturdy and quiet. i've gone through quite a few of the cases in the shopping section, looking for anything that had 2x 120mm fans OR MORE! and i did especially like the reviews on "The Antec P150 Quiet PC Case" and "Antec P180 Advanced Super Mid-Tower"
now i realize i can't just go and buy any old case and shove any old equipment in it so i pose my question: with the ASUS 650i motherboard and :possibly: a higher end NVIDIA geforce (the 7900gtx 512 is a little pricey but i might spring for it) video card, would i be safe in purchasing this case? any other suggestions? i've got another thread under the General Computer area called 'continuing my newbie thread...' that i'm going to post the specs for my POSSIBLE build if you wanted reference. thanks!

I never said I liked it I just happened to read a couple of reviews of it the other day and figured id throw it in.no offense, but its hideous.
Also no offense but looks are a matter of opinion and arent fact. You may think it looks hideous but In Win would not have made it if they didnt expect people to buy it. Its all a matter of opinion.
Still atleast its not a Vento

i have the p180. I love it. currently i have 4 - 120 fans in it (one back, one top, one front, one on PSU. it looks clean sitting there. i love the drive rails for the opticals and the harddrives. It also has storage space inside in the front - i store my floppy drive, some cables, screws, screw drivers, and some other random stuff in it.
of you plan on moving it often, I DO NOT reccomend. it is heavy empty, and it is really heavy full.

I know I have said this a million times....but the Armor Jr. is a mid-tower with fans in front and back, an 80mm blowing on the CPU/VGA, and room on top that I might make my own blowhole, not to mention your PSU fan, heat sink fan, and fans on cards....Come to think of it my case is gonna be moving about 300cfm haha.
