I'm getting tired of the Skyhawk that I bought with my current rig, as it feels cheap. The panels are hard to get on/off, the mobo tray is flimsy, and it's loud as hell.

So, keeping that in mind, I'd like a case with these features.

Must haves:
120MM fans
Fairly quiet
Lack of bling
Under 150 dollars

Preferred:
Side window
Removable mobo tray

Anyway, if they weren't more expensive than my processor and video card combined, I'd probably get something from the Lian-Li V series. But they're too expensive.

I've set up a poll with cases I'm looking at. Please specify which one you think I should go with, or post another option.
 
im using the Antec p160WF..and i have no complaints about it..they are getting harder to find...you cant go wrong with anything Antec makes

If it's out in December, I'll consider it. But I really don't like it's asthetics.
no? which case's exterior do u currently like?
 
Pretty much everything mentioned in the poll other than the TT stuff, mainly. They're there because they have the features I want and are mentioned frequently.
 
Antec p150

it's $160 at newegg but comes with an Antec 430W HE modular PSU

supposedly is very quiet

has 120mm fan in the back and 2 92mm fans up front

hard drive suspension system for noise damping

preinstalled sound damping material to the side panels

downside: it only comes in white (and it IS white, not beige) with silver front

check out the silentpcreview review of it: www.silentpcreview.com/article272-page1.html
 
I don't understand why there is a "what case should I buy?" thread once a week. What's wrong with research?

I'd think the fact that I've posted a poll of cases that I am looking at shows I've done some research, but am having trouble narrowing it down. ;)

Really, I don't need anything other than what I specifically said. I'm leaning torwards the Stacker, though, as I like it's style and features, and my case is almost never moved.
