Uh oh, decisions problem.

Heres the deal. I have a choice of 2 cases i can have but idk which one to get! I want the TT Armor JR because ive been saying i wanted one for a LONG time and it can also carry a TT Bigwater 735 with nothing outside. Did i mention, its still an Armor?

But i also saw the Antec P180 black and was like well hell that has alot of options and i LOVE the idea of the PSU being on the bottom. Only problem me and my friends have with it is it looks like a fridge lolers. :mrgreen: The double hinged door, and 3ply shell is very nice and would be very cool and quiet.

So im asking a bunch of ppl before Christmas comes around and seeing what yall think.

Kind of chunky to carry to a lan...

What i have right now isnt really any better so it dosent really matter. As long as its not a full tower then ill be fine.

The P180 may be classed as a mid-tower... but it's close enough to my full tower that I'd just call it a full tower. ;) It is also just as heavy, if not more so since it has extra capacity that I've loaded it fully down using.

If you want to avoid the fridge look, then the P180b does a good job of it, just keep in mind that the black version is guaranteed to not come with the GPU fan duct the original P180's had.

So far I had to go out and buy a bunch more 120mm fans for mine, and I've stuck one every possible place, but the air cooling isn't quite up to snuff. This case really needs a side panel intake, not lots of air holes in the back panel that are left there, and were originally used for the now missing GPU duct. You could also probably mount that Bigwater 735 in it though, infact you could mount a second single 120mm fan radiator. Neither case looks like it can mount a twin 120mm fan sized rad though.

The Antec P180B ALL THE WAY!!! I'm not a fan of the "armour" flaps on the TT case...

[markkleb]

I dont understand, arent you in the modding contest? You are getting a new Antec case and PS, it has better cooling than the 180 and you should be able to put any H20 system inside it.

I said i was in yea, but if i dont have that Antec case and PSU by Christmas then this is what im getting. (Getting one free from one of the sponsors through my LAN clan) If i get the Antec before Chrsitmas then ill just tell them to give the case to somebody else. Also, i thought you had to get a PM from Scott saying you where getting a free case or something?

[markkleb]

since the contest is this month I hope you get the case before Xmas...:roll:

[Scott]

Yeah I would hope you get it before Christmas too. Kind of hard to mod it if you don't have it by then.

I covered cases for everyone that Pm'd me about getting one.

[PP Mguire]

I sent you a PM right after i posted about it....:confused:
