Summary: Cheaper elsewhere, Antec rules
Review: ...I have purchased three Antec cases /PS and have been please with all three. Features mentioned in the other reviews work well, though I have added larger power supplies in the last two purchased cases for overclocking. You can't go wrong with Antec cases.

Summary: Great case! Nice touches.
Review: The Antec power supplies have always been rock solid for me. The same now goes for their cases. I have 3 of these cases with 2 running 2.5GHz P4 and one with an Athelon 2200 (all ASUS). The case has several great features: easy open side panel, removable hard drive and fan combo with a nice locking clip, quick slides for optical drives, the hard drive gets a blast of cool air blowing from a fan directly in front of it, and it is easy to install fans. The case is beautiful inside with great finishing touches. What's not to like: little small when I have both hands inside swapping CPU chips, the side fan needs to be unplugged when removing the door, the fan needs to be unplugged for the hard drive enclosure removal, there is no slide out tray for the mobo, and it uses some unusual slides to attach the optical drives( they do supply a lot tho).
The power switch is nice, no doors to contend with, and the front connectors are handy and not in the way of my mouse. Very quiet fans. Put a LED colored fan into the side vent for a beautiful effect.
Enough power and space for a normal system. A big thumbs up.

Summary: Awesome Case
Review: This is a very nice looking tower and definitely a great value. I was looking for a case for a new PC I was building, and I didn't want one of those cheap, dull, white cases. Luckily I stumbled upon Antec's cases and decided to check them out. This case had everything I needed. Sure it's a little expensive, but I believe it was totally worth the money. It has plenty of space, a solid 330W PSU, room for 3 fans (1 front, 1 back, & 1 side), side panel, and a cool metallic gray style. Now for over 3 months I've been using this case with a Asus P4C800-E motherboard, Pentium 4 2.8Ghz processor, and Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card and have had no problem. The temperatures inside are steady at around 27-32ºC. I must say that the side fan is very useful for cooling a monster graphics card like the 9800 Pro, although the fan tends to run a little loud. The side panel can slide off to gain easy access to the goodies inside, and can also be locked for security. This is a great case and would reccomend to anyone willing to spend the money.
