Antec 900 or NZXT Tempest

[Robt2009]

Been pouring over reviews on both cases and having trouble decided which to get.

For background

I don't plan on water cooling and will have at most a few hard drives

Cable management is important to me and a case that can make that easier would be great.

Having the USB/MIC/LINE in on the top is a huge thing for me (Both have them)

Aesthetics are a concern, but not the top priority ( I think the 900 looks better)

The case will be on the ground in a carpeted room.


Personal Experiances/Thoughts?

have you also checked out the Antec 902?

The 900 has pretty poor cable management options. The updated 900 series, may be improved in that area.

I looked at the 902, but I dont think its worth the extra 50 bucks.

The Tempest and the 900 are both around the 100-110 dollar mark.

Get the antec 300 - cheap with good cooling.

Otherwise, the 900 my friend has looks great, and is organized, but I can't comment on the tempest.
