Default Thoughts on these two cases?
Anyone have some good or bad experience with these? I'm considering them as Antec 900 alternatives.

Want an alternative to the 900? AeroCool ExtremEngine 5T http://www.xoxide.com/aerocool-extre...-3t-black.html

The Cooler Master lacks front intake limited to the small side fans on those two models while AeroCool case seen there sees 140mm front and 250mm side cover fan. Talk about air flow.

Another Antec 900 alternative would be the NZXT Apollo, I know of a few people on this forum that practically swear by them being one of their favorite cases. (and it looks cool too , almost reminds me of AlienWare cases, but with a side fan and side panel )

You have to add one in apparently since it's not included. It's still a good brand and popular with many.

NZXT is another company that puts out some great gaming cases there too. The Nemesis Elite model is another one to look at as well as the Apollo. http://www.xoxide.com/nzxt-nemesis-e...ase-black.html

I don't know. Judging from the pictures on newegg, it looks like it's made of cheap plastic, and I'm not a big fan of a front door anyway.

I have the Centurion 5 and it is a solid all round case for the price, although i do regret not getting a side window!

Neither am I. I put up with the twins on the last case and said no more when someone pointed out a good sale at FRYS on the 900 last July. Haven't regretted it one bit.

This seems to be the same one, but with a window.

Of course, it doesn't have a side vent as a result.
