which case should i get?

well i found some one to sell me a Antec P180 Advanced Super Mid Tower for the same price as the Antec 900. i heard that the antec P180 was really good but it was cramped inside, and i might wana get water cooling later on.

but the chances of me getting water cooling at pretty low, so ignoring that which of these 2 cases are better in cooling?

I've got the Antec 900 - no complaints from me. Built solid, great cooling and looks amazing.

The P180 is discontinued & has been replaced with the P182.
It has some small but significant improvements that warrant its purchase over the P180.

okay talking to a friend he said the antec 182 has more insulation so its quiter, but the antec 900 is better air flow and cooling by 10 celsius. scince the comp will be loacated in the living room with the tv at the back i prob wont have noise issues, so antec 900 it is

yeah right. 10c cooler?

if it's in your living room, you won't want a gamer case. you'd want an elegant looking case

The 900 sucks up dust like a hoover. DOnt like the case much at all. Rather the Lian-li PC-60 PLUS II or the P182, both same price range both excellent cases. But the Lian-li does have superb cooling with air being blown in from both front and back and exhausted through side and top. Cools the cpu and gpu very well serposidly.

p182 allso is ready for watercooling as they have added 2 holes in *** back for the pipes, which the p180 never had, i have the p182, awesome thing, very solid, heavy, and great air flow!
