And I only need one.. I am leaning towards the Antec 900 or the Smilodon.. I really like the Smilodon but I get the impression it's not as good as it seems. I've read alot of reviews and still need a shove, not a push, in the right direction.

I will be building as so for the moment.

Q6600 with Tunic Tower 120 and I look foward to Air OC. I also Intend a 3x320gb Samsung Perpendicular drives raided 0 and another drive to match half total memory, with at least one slot left open to swap out hard drives for people and what not.. I am also leaning on the Abit p35 pro. Please Help!

Antec Nine Hundred



COOLER MASTER RC-690




RaidMax Smilodon





PS if this is supposed to go in General Hardware, sorry. Send me a Msg and Ill move it.
 
If its Antec vs Raidmax go with the Antec 900 as you can't go wrong with the better overall case cooling.
 
I am running a Q6600 with a TT120 in an antec 900 :). Go for that one, and you can't lose. I am running low speed Yate Loon fans and it works great and is nice and quiet.
 
Even though the cable management is very bad in the 900, I'd still have to pick that one. Your temps won't get better then that, unless you watercool. I had a 900 before this p182 and now that I got my setup in my p182, my temps went up a few degrees but oh well, at least it looks pretty ; )
 
I love my antec 900 but yea cable management sucks but i love it
 
I dont see how the raidmax is even an option but for the price the CM is the best of the three.
 
Depending on how many harddrives you need.... RC690 might be OK...

I'm running 6 and plan to get more (up to 10) and the Antec 900 was what I went with

Temps are insanely low too... low 20's with an AC 64 Pro I paid $20 for...

Cable management sucks with the Antec900, but I made it work with 6 HDDs, 8800 GTS, and 2 DVD drives... tad messy :D but the temps don't seem to be affected.
 
Aesthetically:

Why does everyone love the Antec 900? So ugly.

I agree that the Raidmax is a little iffy.

CM of the three, but what about those sleek Lian Lis?
