Alright, ive got cash to burn again and want a new case, now im deadset on the plusview for some reason. My only question is... what color is this darn thing! Ive looked all over the net and have seen this case look quite different from pic to pic. Heck a while ago I pmed a guy on the forum to try to give me a better idea, but im still lost.

Really want the airflow benefits / size / looks of this case... Is it a light metallic grey (gray?) or a very dark grey? (dark = bad)
 
lol, nevermind just now looking at those two shots on my laptop and they both look right. My crt seems to like to darken images or has some weird gamma scale. Anyway, I would still like to hear your comments on the color of the thing. There are other shots where it does look dark grey.

But even that looks better on this laptop, (well better as in I notice how poor the lighting is in the shot)

Maybe im just crazy...
 
According to Antec, it's "Metallic Gray". I don't know what it is about the pics, maybe bad/different lighting for each pic or something, but they do look different on my monitor as well. The first looks silver and the second looks more like a dark gray (more like what Antec has on its site). Try going up to a Fry's or maybe even a CompUSA or something and see one up close.
 
I think it is dark grey, but it is metallic grey, so it would catch the light and appear lighter than it actually is sometimes.
 
The thing is I cant find a single store that stocks the darn thing. So im having to buy it off the internet.
 
Actually I am picking mine up this weekend, but I have seen it on the shelf and it is NOT dark grey, but just metalic grey, light grey.....so I think you can buy it without worries
 
Turns out my local compusa has em on shelf checked them out yesterday. Ordering it online today, although my order crapped through the verification process at chiefvalue.com im going to wait a while and try again (or take the brunt of the extra 2 dollars newegg charges)

Anyway, I didnt want to make a new post anyplace so heres another one. Now that I have the case, where can I buy some good case fans cheap? Just saw a thread about a loud antec case on the fourms and dont want to add another to the world.

No leds, one clear for side window, they must clip in antec fan clips. I dont mind tracking a brand down or looking through a store myself, I just dont know what brand or which store. (Or should I just buy these in a local store as shipping might kill any possibility on buying online?)
 
Can't go wrong with Panaflo fans. Good luck finding them in stores though.
