Antec's P180 or Ahanix's MCE 601 case?

Antec's:
P180

Ahanix's:
MCE 601

Which one to get and most of all: why? I like the design and style of MCE601 but on the other hand, P180 seems to have better airflow. Is this true? Or do these things even matter since my system won't be such a high-end system (but not a slow system either) but it will be located in the living room.
 
I vote the MCE 601, Wouldnt like seeing the P180 in the living room, just doesnt fit. If you were to put it in the kitchen however, the P180 would fit perfectly next your fridge!
 
MCE 601, unless you just want a really big case in the living room. But I'm pretty sure that so long as your aren't using excessively hot hardware, you could get that Ahanix box really quiet...
Tas.
 
If its going to be hidden I say get the P180, but if its in view like your DD reciever/dvd player/etc... get the HT case.
 
Thanks for all the replies.

Shadowknight: the problems with Aria seem to be it gets quite hot even the system wasn't a high-end system, the PSU is not standard type and it only accepts mATX motherboards inside in it. I forgot to mention that I do need easily upgradeable system since the case I will buy has to serve me for few years 🙂

Stupid question but: is it ok to keep P180 lying on its side on the table? OR is it too big even for this? At least it would be cheaper than MCE601
