Fight is between the Antec PlusView vs. the thermaltake Xaser II. They are comprably priced on newegg.com ... which would you guys cast the votes for?

Specifically: antec is PlusView1000AMG
Thermal take is Xaser II 5000C

I find myself leaning towards the Antec case too... mainly cause once I looked into the case in the pictures... they have some weird ass color schemes... eesh

Xaser is ugly as hell.

Antec's are much nicer, plus if a power supply is included, Antec definatly wins.

antec's PSU is nice

you can always rice up the antec as you want, unlike the xaser which is already uglily riced up

I vote for the Antec too. What Thermaltake did to that case is a crime. Xaser has got to be one of the most hideous cases I've ever seen.

well, the asthetics have been covered, so I will simply state, the Thermaltake weighs a ton.

Plusview: moderately good looking yet moderately bland looking case.
Xasier: being discussed in mexico summits due to major impact upon world levels of rice.

tbh both cases seem to be about the same except for:
they look different,
xasier has bigger window (maybe good or bad?)
the fans supplied are different,
xasier has the 5 1/4" drive bay thing with fan controller, temp LED display,
if including PSU's, they will be different.
plusview a firm fave for modding.

Personally I'd go with the antec, I think easily the main difference between the two cases are the aesphetics, and if you were into the Xasier aesphetics you'd not need a decision.

LOL :D

i have an Antec, it rocks. Seriously, the Thermaltake is hideous. I have never considered that case since I've seen it.
