Antec 1080 AMG case input please?

[donfm]

I like the format of the case and the power supply. The only thing is that ugly grey color doesn't match any known stock drive faceplate. Anybody have this case and willing to share your experiences?

That is what the door on the case is for. The door hides the non matching drives. If you want to be really anal about it then there are two more options. First, get black drives. They look much better than beige. Second, either vinyl dye or spray paint your drives to match. There are tutorials all over on how to do it.

BG4533 is correct on how to handle the color. I do have 2 Antec cases that are beige which I love. It's still my choice of colors. I have an Antec Sx1040 w/400w p.s. and a Antec Sx1080 w/430w p.s. Both are keeping my P4 1.6a @ 2.4Ghz ide=28-29 celsuis, after 1 hour Unreal temp climbs to 32-34 celsuis.

Both cases are excellent performers. ANTEC=QUALITY.

I have the 660 and even though it doesn't match my drive colors it doesn't matter. I bought it for the quality and cooling potential and it hasn't let me down yet.

CompUsa has the SX1040BII on sale after rebate for $79. That is a great price. Is the Antec SmartPower 400 watt supply any good that's in it for the latest boards?

400 w is fine, it was thinking about getting in on the compusa deal, but i have too many cases already

Where is the SX1040BII rebate at CompUSA?

If you check out the Chenming or Chief-tec cases, they have some with the same design, but aluminum. Makes a big difference in weight! They have fancy doors with windows and fans as well- I've bought a couple from newegg.com recently and they work great.
