Which Case For my Media / Gaming PC?
I am looking at these 4 cases... I need a case that is all around good quality, easy to work with, and a pretty good cooling system in stock:
Thermaltake Xaser III V1000A (E-ATX) SilverStone SST-TJ05B-W Aluminum Tower Case (E-ATX) Cooler Master Wave Master TAC-T01-E1C Antec Performance P180 ATX-Mid Tower (Kind of skeptical on this one because of the placement of the PSU) Thanks |

I have the Thermaktake Xaser III and it is a good case. Its solid, cools well, and it is very visually appealing. The only thing I don't like about it is, it weighs about 50 pounds (if not more) with all my stuff in it. I recommend this case.

Why are you skeptical of the placement of the PSU on the P180? The case has extremely good reviews and is quiet and keeps things cool. It may not be worth the $150, but it is an excellent cae from what I've read.

I think the P180 is ugly.

I have the DVD+/-RW 16x|NEC ND-3520A BK W/O SW and so far it has been great. It has burnt about 75 dvds without error sense I got it.

Definitely the P180. It looks great and has very good features. Read some reviews for all and decide based on them. If I were you I would not get a thermaltake case, since I have had very bad experiences with the thermaltakes.
