i recently picked up a antec 300 with the front fan prefilters, which is nice in my house with 2 cats

i ended up putting a system together for my parents and giving them the antec 300

now i have to get a new case to put my internals into, but i want something that has a prefilter for me to clean out. i haven't seen any other case with this feature (900, rc690 etc...) and i don't really want to end up with the same case, you guys have any recommendations?

and the prefilters are a major factor, my wife's rc590 has cat hair ALLLL over the side vent and the front, and my 300 was already starting to build up hair on the front as well, help!
 
the rocket fish cases from BB have them. You can always mod your own though pretty easy. the sponge type air conditioner filters work really well
 
If it's a filter than you can remove w/o taking off the front of the case, then I would consider using it. But, if you check the air flow with a filter compared to one w/o, it's drastically more air coming in w/o a filter.
 
The P180 line and Sonata III have filters.
my buddy has a p180... i am not too impress with it, and i hate having the front drive cover
lianli v1000 v1200 v2010 .... there is more so go check there site out
i looked at them, but they are rather expensive, i am looking to spend around 150 or less

i went to the local bb and they didn't have anything but antec cases...
 
I have a Long Haired Cat and a Antec 900. I find that most of the hier is caught by the fan grills. the inside of my case shows no signs of cat hair and very little dust. My case sits up on top of my desk is one reason for the little amount of dust, but I don't know what keeps the cat hair from getting into the inside of the case.

[edit] I just looked closly inside my case and there is a little cat hair on the CPU fan, but its been maybe 6 months sense I have cleaned out my case, and I have to clean the outside fan grills at least weekly.
