Air Flow, but Room to Grow

[lessonz]

Right now I'm looking for a case with good (quiet would also be nice) airflow out of the box (ie pre-installed fans), but one that would probably make it easy to set up WCing in the future if I decide to go that route. Right now, I'm thinking TT Armor, but I'm interested in opinions from those that have used either it or other cases. I don't want to spend significantly more than $150 (not including shipping).

Thanks.

P180/P182 are both safe bets.
Good air flow, quiet, and the watercooling pipe cutouts at the back are already there.
Fits your budget too.

I'm not a big fan of the door.

Any opinions about the Armor vs Antec 900?

I've got the Armor, and I've got a friend with the 900. The Armor is the bigger of the two, so if overall size is a factor, there you go. On this, it sounds like you need to pick out just how much "room to grow" you want.

Personally I like the Armor more (obviously since I bought it) but my buddy says that his 900 is great. We get relatively comparable temps (both on air), since my apt is hotter than his, but his case is smaller, and neither one really hurts for space (though, again, TT=bigger). They both light up blue, and are nice and shiny, so you pays your money and takes your choice.

Good luck!

I forgot to mention: The Armor has a set of WC tubing cutouts in the back as well. I don't know about the 900 in this regard.
