Good...better...best case?

MikeTAD · 3 Jul 2008 at 08:39

I have a limited experience with cases. Most of the PCs I have had/built in the past had rubbish cases.
Recently I bought a P182...and was very impressed...good design, well thought out practical interior etc.
So...I'm thimking...for anyone who has had/still has a P182...have you ever found a better case?

Very easy to find better cases, all depends on needs.

im very bias and will always say the antec p190 is the best out there....just one reason why i say that....ive got one and love it,future proof due to its size,very clean line's to the case,no window which i like and a door which make's it look stealthy looking and masses of room inside.

I've had my Lian-Li PC-75 since launch, its the best and most futureproof case i've ever owned its had about 7 rigs built in it now both AMD and Intel ranging from watercooled to Phase change & both, the case can take anything, during my phase change P4 overclocking period i had the Vapo mounted inside the case at the top with a watercooling setup on the NB & GFX.

At the moment i'm back on my 3rd watercooled build and its taken all that with ease.

One of the all time best cases imho.

I've never like any of the antec cases i've owned, far too much weight, i'd take a new Lian-Li over an Antec.

I would probably have gone for a P190 if they didnt insist on bundling it with PSU's, ended up with a A1200, the cooling on that is verging on silly...perfectly fine on low settings, crazy wind tunnel on high settings.

Had a P180 - it was rubbish tbh. No space, too much plastic.

Went to a Lian Li a70B at xmas. Soo much more space, a lot better designed. Doesn't weigh 10kg. And looks sooo much more professional.

Antec P180 is exactly that...imo I hated it but thats cos I went from a large eclipse 62case or from an Antec 900 even... my mistake was going to an P180 from antec again.

I went to A70B and total different class and only 50 quid more then the 99 quid P180 at that time.... so was an amazing difference.

Definatly advise people get bigger/larger cases makes life easy to install/setup and keep things more tidy... less change for heat to build and better cooling alround less case fans required even etc etc
