Antec SLK2600AMB case

[1Cheap2Crazy]

I'm thinking of getting this Antec case http://www.antec-inc.com/en_solution_2600amb.html

Anyone have this case? Is the color attactive, or does it look cheap/cheesy? Will a microATX board fit in here? Is the power supply/fan loud? Are all Antec PS good, or do they do what a lot of companies do and make a cheaper line? Presently I have a PIII 1GHz, 256K, 2-20GB HDs, but I may be buying a new MB with an AGP slot for an nVidia card and a P4 or high end AMD chip from Santa later this year, is the PS compliant?

Thanks

I picked up this case today and am yet to open it. But I checked out the floor model extensively at the local Fry's and it looks like a well done case. The color looks really cool and the appearance is that of a well made case. No bare edges on the inside. I plan on migrating my current MB/drives soon and I will give you a heads up on noise levels when I'm done.

I was planning on buying a micro-atx case but the size of this box is not very much bigger and will give me more flexibility when upgrading in the future. I believe all atx cases will accept a micro-atx board since the holes to fit the board are the same as for an atx board except that the latter has two extra at the bottom.

I ordered one today from Staples for $55 shipped for my new system. Hopefully, It'll be as good as everyone says...

We would look but we are not "subscribers". What is it?

Just replace "subscriber" in the URL with "forums"

So this:

"http://subscriber.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=37&threadid=870687&highlight_key=y&keyword1=slk"

becomes this:

"http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=37&threadid=870687&highlight_key=y&keyword1=slk"


EDIT - Oh, why not become a subscriber, support Anandtech AND get to see "subscriber" threads w/o having to edit URLs!

Thats a pimp case. Big time. Im definitely buying one for my new setup Im buying, because after having a SOHO Antec, I wanna go small for easy LANage.

It's a nice case but for a bit more you can get the 3700 which has a better PS (350W vs 300W and dual fans), 120mm fan cutouts with one fan included, and a bigger hard drive cage with anti-vibration washers.
