Can you recommend one of these cases?

I'm getting a computer case from work. I have my choice of pretty much anything from CDW. They seem to have the following brand cases:

Supermicro
Enlight
Antec
Thermaltake


Any particularly good models I should look at more closely? I'm thinking about the Antec 1080.

I'd go for this Antec.

I like the Antec SLK3700AMB. Very nice for the money.

Thanks.

Anyone else? So far Antec seems to have it hands down.

1080 is awesome, I own an older model 1030, and it's a sturdy, durable, sweet case.

I've never heard of Supermicro, Enlight makes cheap cases, Thermaltake's cases are ok but too flashy, Antec wins this one hands down.

Your link doesn't work but iirc the 1080 is the big case that looks a bit like the Chenmings? Yeah those are really nice, the SLK3700AMB is a very nice case too, and cheap.

Another vote for Antec. I have their Superlanboy and really like the build quality and setup as well as all the little extras. That case linked above for $60 with a psu seems like a really good deal... especially with the pre-done ductwork. Only thing I want was a 120mm intake instead of what looks like an 8omm.

It sucks your limited to CDW. I can't find any cases. Bummer!

Antecs are good, solid cases with nice features for the money. Decent psu's, as well.

OTOH, if it's free to you, and work is willing to foot the bill, go to the supermicro site and check out their workstation boxes. They're a cut above, professional grade, with hotswap scsi or sata drive caddies, excellent cooling, even dual redundant psu's... if you're willing to pay for 'em...
