I call upon the infinite knowledge of the Case Central dwellers!

I'm after a fairly big tower, needs to accomodate 5+ HDD's comfortable. I would really like a 'compartment' design ala P182 etc. Cable management also a big plus as im a neat freak on pc installation.

Now, from my own research i've found the following i like...

Coolermaster Cosmos : Dismissed as i feel its probably a bit *to* big and heavy.
Lian Li 1010/1000Z : love this case but more than i want to spend really.
Antec P182 : Awesome, nice compartments, good HDD storage and awesome cable management. Winning at the moment, but doesnt have that X-Factor to make me order, doesnt really look cool and part of me wants a window. The mirror finish SE gives me the horn but seems impossible to get.

Zalman GS-1000 : Just stumbled across this, hot swap drive bays and a pretty nice design. Cable management looks good to. Drawing with the P182 at the moment because it looks a bit cooler, and the hot swap would actually be really useful for me. Cannot find any definate prices/release date though?
OcUK? Likely to stock these?

Other than that im fairly stumped, looking to spend up to £120 really.

Suggestions?

Cheers, Chris.

I prefer the internals of the p182 tbh. I think the Zalman is winning at the moment, cable management, seperate compartments, should be quiet and hot swap bays rock the house.

Will wait for final years but im down to the p182/gs1000 now unless something new crops up.
 
get a p182 is it worth spending £120-£140 when you really don't have to ? would leave you £40 to spend on something else.
If I were you though I'd get an akasa eclipse.
