Antec Plus 660AMG or Plus 1080AMG

[Dahak]

Topic basically says it all. Trying to decide between the Antec Preformance PLUS 660 AMG and the Antec Preformance PLUS 1080 AMG

Im leaning more towards the Plus660 at the moment but am aslo heavily concedering the Plus1080 as well. I dont really need all the bay room that the 1080 provides but do like the fact that i can spread my 2 harddrives out a bit more. right now they are in a case about the same size of the 660 has for the hdd bay and I leave my machine on 27/7 as well and they are a little warm to the touch (Maxtor 40GB 7200, and a 120GB WD 7200). The price difference between the 2 is about $35-$40

Also planning on adding the following to the same case
P4 2.6C
Asus P4P800 (dunno if going with the standard or deluxe)
1GB of Ram (2x512 MB)

I'd get the larger 1080. Not only will it usually run a little cooler, you have more space for things you may want in the future. But if you are sure you won't need the space, then the 660 will do you very well.

Both are very nice cases.

I have the 660 AMG, and there is plenty of room, and my computer isn't exactly small (2 HD, 2 CD, Huge Zalmann HS with that fan coming off the PCI slots, etc.). If you aren't building a HUGE computer, go with the 660, it works just fine and is a great case.

Well one for one... anymore opinion?
main issue is the heat on around my 2 harddrives

Get the 1080AMG because it includes a 430W truepower vs 660AMG's 330W truepower.

They are both nice cases but keep in mind bigger is always easier to work with...

I used to like bigger cases, but i got the 660amg and really like it. I think that it looks better as well without that drive cover that the other cases have.
