are there no other cases like the p180 or lian-lis newer ones...

[AndyD2k]

I've already preordered a p180 over at endpcnoise.com but I have one problem...

I don't like doors!

Now I know I can keep the thing open but it's not the nicest looking thing when it is. i need access to my audigy 2 box most of the time so the door would probably be closed 5% of the time. The only other case that I can find that has similar features is Lian Li's pcv 1000 but the idea of having to clean the front of the case every day because of the amount of holes is not that appealing (dust accumulation in my apartment is a problem I have to deal with...I don't need things that will add to it).

I haven't gotten to see the P-180 up close yet, since they won't ship to us for a couple days, but it is probobly possible to remove the door. This is usually true. You'll lose some of the "look" of the case obviously, but it's a thought.

the silverstone temjin TJ06 looks pretty good.

I have the Temjin TJ06 and i cant stop lookin at it. I havent put it all together yet, probably at the end of the month when I get the rest of my components. The only problem I can forsee with the inversed Faux BTX layout is that cables will be short. The case is HUGE, and since the layout is uncoventional, it takes a little more planning to get all the wires to connect. I've picked up extension cables for the PSU, power leads and fan adapters. Its a lil more money, but It should be worth it. Silverstone has probably the best quality cases. Its all been good reviews so far, but keep in mind possible snags.

 

[AndyD2k]

sounds like a lot more work than i want to deal with. plus, most of my cables are short as i didn't need them to be long in current case (lian li 65B). i'm thinking of getting the 180 again.

If you put the door flat agaist the side of the case, it will be like you don't have one.

 

[AndyD2k]

yeah, i know but have you seen the look of the case with the door fully opening. obviously, the features are important to me but i still want something that is aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Im considering getting the P180 too now. Ran into a couple problems with the temjin tj06. Apparently they took out the hole to route wires from the back after i had to return the first one because I realized it was missing the rear PSU plate. irritating.
