New Case Required

[paul1980]

Hi all,

I am looking to get a new PC case. My current case only has one fan and really does not cut the mustard. Looking to spend about £80 ish. So far I like the look of the Antec 900? Anyone any comments on what its like? Is it noisy? Are there any better alternatives for the price?

Cheers in advance

i'll be the first then, Eclipse or PC-7 hands down.

Antec cases are full of gimmicks nowadays imo, there cases have gone downhill since the legendary Sonata. Sure the PC-7 or Eclipse do not have half the features the Antec 900 claims to have, but out of the must needs in a case the PC-7 and Eclipse do it better than the 900. Yes a case with enough fans to lift off is good in theory but why have a case full of fans when 2 will suffice in a well designed case.

The one downside of the PC-7 is probably the hard drive capacity and possibly the non existence of a removable motherboard tray at a push but the eclipse does not have this problem. The only gripe i've heard with the Eclipse is its plastic front, i for one love the minimalistic look of the PC-7 but others like LED's right, left and center all down to personal preference.
