Case Suggestion

[sephroth777]

I am building a file/gaming server computer with a 1.0 Ghz PIII, 1 GB PC133 Ram, Western Digital 1200JB HD, Antec 300W PSU. I have narrowed my choices between two Cooler Master cases.

Cavalier 3 or Centurion 5

I was looking for opinions for pros/cons on each case and any suggestions you may have. Each case can be picked up for $50 so price is not a factor. Mainly I want a quiet case since it will be inside a bedroom running 24/7. And perhaps a HTPC in the future.

The CM Cavalier 3 would be a tad quiter than the CM Centurion 5, IMO

I assume that is due to the open mesh design of the Centurion 5?
The only concerns I have with the Centurion 5 is the noise level due to the open mesh and the amount of dust the mesh collects on its filters and how often cleaning is required.

That's right
