Antec "Performance Plus" 880 case...

Possibly getting this case( $159.) with my new rig shortly. Comes with two rear 80mm fans, and spot in front for two more 80mm fans...

What is the "latest & greatest" in 80mm fans at the moment?

Will be a modest OC'd system... probably Pent 4 Northwood 2.0 on an upcoming Q3 SIS 655 chipset board...with an AVC Sunflower heatsink/fan...with Gainward or Leadtek GeForce Ti 4400...

This case comes with 430W power supply...good enough? Here's the link to the case/PS...

Thought about getting modified Chenbro Genie case from Jim H. at Coolcases...but it's @ $300....ouch...and I'm really not going to OC like a madman...

Thanks for input...

 
Great choice. I have the SX1040b, which is very similar to the PPlus 880, but with a different front bezel and a few other things. I also believe that the performance plus series cases have a spot for a blowhole fan on the side panel. Anyway, the fans you choose are up to you. I have 2 PCPower and Cooling Silencer fans, 1 Galaxy fan, and 1 thermally controlled Enermax fan in mine. 430W is PLENTY for any system you'll build now, and most for the future. I have a 400W, and I know I'm barely taxing it. Antec makes great cases, they're solid, easy to get around in (the easily removable HDD cages are great), and offer good cooling.
