Hi all,

I currently have an Antec p182 (special edition). Its a nice case but unfortunately the side panel is broken and wont go back on so all my internal organs are exposed!!

So I need a new case!! Something stylish! I have been drawn to the Antec 902 and 1200 as I like of the idea of the power/restart buttons being on top of the case as I usually have my case on the floor next to my chair! However, I am not entirely sure about the blue lights everywhere! This may get annoying at night! Maybe its not big deal?

Anyway, I am looking for something stylish but also easy to work with. Something that will have room for future upgrades!!

Thanks in advance for any advice and suggestions!!

Why not put this in case section? lol
What sort of budget you looking at?
You have any priorities? noise dampening? airflow? etc
Preferred styling? The 9/1200 are quite different to the P series
Any idea of what future upgrades youre talking about? WC? Or just addition of more/newer components?

Opps, didn't see the case section! Can it be moved?

Well I am not into overclocking (yet?) so airflow wouldn't be a huge priority! In terms of upgrades I will be upgrading to an i7 which would obviously include a new motherboard, memory etc.
 
If it looks bland, and you like the look of the 1200 then another to consider would be a Coolermaster HAF 932, you still havent stated budget though :p

It's not bland, it's subtle and elegant :)

Depends what you want really, personally I can't stand anything that has massive flanges and ridiculous grills but the HAF is indeed a popular choice as 95thrifles says.

Well, it was more the buttons on top and all the positive reviews that leaned me towards the 1200!! Its hardly bland though!

In terms of budget I don't mind going up to €150

The Coolermaster HAF 932 isn't bad looking! Just out of curiosity does the microphone socket on the front of the case does that linked to the onboard sound or the sound card or either depending on your settings! Its just that the one on my case doesnt seem to work!

EDIT: Hmmm no dust filters on the fans!!

You could try contacting Antec about getting a new side panel, i am sure there are some threads in the case section about people getting parts replaced for free.
