Unless you're moving the computer, aluminium offers absolutely no advantages. None.

And there's plenty of pics posted on the internet. Try searching.

Brushed AL looks much nicer then painted steel.

I'd take a black one without a PSU. Don't like white, and I don't need the PSU that comes with the case. The cable management and drive suspension is impressive.

 

[johnnqq]

i'll take ANY without a psu...

Polished/brushed stainless steel holds its own. What's your point?

That may be true but I've never seen a stainless steel case.

That's no fault of the material.

Well seeing as the material doesn?t exist in the form of a case I don't understand why you would bring it up.

What you said was that brushed aluminum looks better than painted steel. Fine (debatable). But did you interpret "aluminum offers no advantages" as "aluminum offers no advantages [over painted steel]" or "aluminum offers no advantages [over any other material]"?

 

[johnnqq]

people are having problems with their system randomly turning off and becoming unstable while you guys argue about stainless steel...

Ok.. There are two common metals used in cases, AL and non-stainless steel. A stainless steel cases would probably look pretty nice but seeing as non -existant arguing it academic. Therefore aside from weight AL also has the advantage of being the nicer looking material.

Well my system is doing fine, so arguing about AL and steel is fine for me . Besides from what I've heard both Asus and Antec are taking care of their users?

 

[johnnqq]

i guess from what you "heard". most of the guys who bought the p150 at hardocp are still waiting for their "revised" psu...

 

[Tweakin]

Just received mine yesturday...it is by far the best Antec case I have owned...and I have owned many.

 

[gorka]

get this case in black/brushed aluminum combo and no-PSU option! STAT!!!!

 

[andepro]

I've purchased my p150, and while waiting for my ASUS-board, I read about the problems with the PSU and ASUS-motherboards:
http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?p=224630#224630
I decided to try the Neo HE430 PSU with my ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe, and during startup, it failed windows XP. I put back the overclock but it wouldn't startup still. Then I put my old PSU back, and it worked again.
RMA here I come
I'm content though to have tested the bastard, before I get my Opteron, and just want the ****** to roll.
