I've started looking at parts for my new PC. I like the Antec P180, i like the quiet factor, and it seems to have good cooling. But I've also seen in many posts people that don;t like it and say it's way to cramped or too hard to hide wires in. I will not be watercooling or anything so i think i could fit what i want inside.

I am still very open to suggestions, So i ask everyone

1.) Antec P180 Yes or No...why?
2.) IF no then what case should i buy? I don't want to spend an insane amount just on a case.

I don't want anything too flashy and i really don't want anything too much bigger than the P180.

Any case suggested MUST use 120mm fans,Two or more. i find their noise to be much better than 80mm and push the same or more air.

I will be aiming for a very very quiet computer, but i will not be slacking on parts. maybe 2x 7800GT's and 2-3 Hard drives. AMD X2 ect.
 
Lian Li cases are nice and you can buy dampening material so that basically it would act like a p180
 
I will be getting one of the asus boards with the heatpipe so having the motherboard upside down is out of the question.

You can always toss that heatpipe for an aftermarket nb hsf. They do make them silent.

the 730/731 has 1x120mm intake and dual 80mm exhaust and an 80mm optionall blowhole on top; the original praetorian has a dual 80mm intake, a single 80mm exhaust and a 80mm blowhole on top.......these dont dont hav wat ur looking for but they are nice cases none the less
 
yeah i really am looking for a mid sized case with 3 or more 120mm fan mounts

hell i've even put some thought into the silverstone tj07...the one used for the max pc dream machine this year.
