If you like your case to have a bit of a military look to it, check out this review of the Antec GX700 over at techPowerUP!

The Antec GX700 is the first of the new series aiming to offer a stylish chassis with a few very cool visual- and functional details at an affordable price point. Clearly going for a military theme, we will see if this chassis can defend itself in the $50 case category or if it shoots nothing but blanks at the competition.

The case quality and looks has been modernized years ago. Why hasn't Antec received the memo?
 
The quality is ho-hum, but it is a fairly flexible case and comes with a couple of half decent 140mm fans for the top. If you don't have an optical drive, or something else in the drive bays to help anchor the front panel, it falls off very easily, and usually when you're carrying it.

I have a dual Xeon E5-2680 folding@home box with an ATX form-factor X9DRL-IF motherboard from Supermicro, and cooling is pretty solid. These are 8 core/16 thread CPUs in there.

I was going to use a Corsair 200R, but this particular motherboard has some non-standard screw holes and the Corsair has pre-configured and hard-set stud and standoffs which don't work on it. Since the Antec does not have this "feature" it works great here.
