I own the CM Centurion 5. I love it. My only gripe is, one for the 3.5" bays is basically useless because is has hardware for a floppy drive, but no opening in the front of the case. Other than that, it's very nice.

Definately the CM, and I'm not just saying that because I own one. For starters, the thermometer is useless. I don't like the flower window, and it seems like they spent less time on go and more on show, Thats just me, though.

I don't need the PSU in the silver..so is there any actual advantages between the standard and silver that make the price difference worth it?

They're both "standard"

The silver just happens to also have a PSU and window, which jacks up the price. I'm sure you can find it in silver without all the bells and whistles.

But if I like the blue more, and stick with it, all I'm really missing out is on a see-through window(which I personally find useless) and a weak PSU I was planning to replace...yes?

the centurion 5 is a really nice case, one of my favs. true that you shouldn't spend that extra for psu and window which you don't need

I have the Centurion 530 and really like it. It has great cooling and a nice feature set. :)
