I am thinking about getting a new computer here...soon atleast. Would this case be good. I mean it looks sweet but is it a good case for gaming and such.

radioHead, ignore Shminu, he's a waste of time, k?

Now, yes, consider the Sonata. Much better value if you're going to buy an Antec PSU.

I like the PV case alot. I just wish it had the ps included like my Performance Plus 1080 did, which btw is the exact same case except without the window and with a 430watt ps.

My urge to pimp the PlusView is outweighing my disinclination to post about the same thing in three threads, so here goes:

I like the PlusView a lot. It doesn't have 120mm fan holes like the other cases, which you may want to look at if you're a big fan of... big fans. In my case, this is fine because I have a lot of Panaflo 80mm fans already which are quiet enough. The snap-in fan brackets are a great idea. The removable drive racks with rails are excellent, and make up for the lack of a side-mounted rack. There's room for a LOT of drives in those, which is good. I like that there's no power supply included, because I already have two perfectly good power supplies to use.

The PlusView has an excellent window (if not as excellent as the Chieftec windows), and great cooling. By all accounts it's also very easy to mod if you like a slightly different flavor of cooling (120mm top blowhole?). Overall, it's a great case that's easy to use and features a whole lot of space and great cooling potential. It's also "heavy", but that didn't matter to me. Highly recommended.
