So what do you guys think?

Kudos to Ralf for the excellent review!

Even though the P160 has a ton of great features, why, in the end, does it look "cheap"? The styling of the front bezel is a disaster - those blue LED's highlighting the intake slots clash something fierce with the green temp readout! And the "chrome" looks cheap to me...

The front fan "drawer" looks like it was <U>designed</U> to rattle! But for all of that, it looks like Antec did a lot of homework on this one, and it is basically a good case!

Don't you have other choices? Even from Antec alone, the 3700 or Sonata would be far better, especially for looks.

I guess it's just personal preferences... I'm really just looking for a review of the Super Lanboy...

Maybe personal preference strongly works here. I like Super Lanboy, and that's what I am going to buy. I like silver color case, so Sonata or 3700 are out (and design itself, I think Super Lanboy is super, while others look boring to me). P160 is ok, but as someone mentioned above, why does it look like cheapo case?

Both sweet cases.

I just built a computer with the LanBoy ( not super Lanboy ). What a nice light case.

But when I saw the P160, It was love at first sight - LOL

The P160 has both a 120mm fan in the back and a spot ofr the 120mm in the front. Its a bit taller.

BTW, I would get the P160 with the clear side.

IMHO

I am a little scared of the Super Lanboy. Why is it all I see when I search for it on the web is a drawing of it and not an actual picture. The design is interesting, I like the big window. I dunno what I feel about the blue stuff on the front bottom. I'd take a regular Lanboy, stylish and comes with a kick ass PSU :)

a friend of mine just bought the p160. It has some very odd quirks, but its really good. i always loved the removable drive bay, the p160 have trays for each drive with gromets. And the only thing i dont like about the p160 is that the removable mobo tray doesn't come out from the back, but striat up. So you would need to take out all your add-on cards to take the mobo out.
