Cooler Master Mystique 632 or Antec Performance I P-160W?

[hiimlarry]

one thing really holds me back on getting the Antec case, and that is whether if it is really that well designed on the inside. I have an Antec Superlanboy right now and even the lanboy design for me was a bit crammed i was unable to really make it shine even with an OCZ Modstream.

The Cooler Master just looks pimp to me and i don't have to worry about what's on the inside. Any comments on how the Antec sets up ?

The Super Lanboy was designed to be relatively compact and somewhat "portable". The 160 is more than two inches deeper and four inches taller - very roomy. I don't care for its appearance but other than that it is nice and roomy.

And the Mystique is basically a Centurion done up in aluminum. Exclusive of the kewl front doors, it's not much bigger than the Super Lanboy.

if you really need a big case, go with a full tower. i have the centurion and love it. plenty of room for me. however, it is not that much bigger then the Lanboy as Zepper pointed out. i suggest you get a full tower if you need the room. otherwise, the mytique should be fine.

would a window like this http://svc.com/spb-t01-esa-19.html work with the mystique? also do the front bezels on the p160 work well withotu complicating things with my drives?

Centurion/Mystique is an entirely different series. You can get Mystique with a factory window. Sometimes you have to take the lip off the front of your drive tray so they don't hang up. Any decent review of the 160 will tell how the stealth panels worked with their drives - Google for reviews.

i want a white one with a window though lol. i think i may just go with the mystique so that i dont have to obsess about the inside of my computer. can anyone tell me where i can find some cool rig setups pics for the p160 though? i've seen one with the aerocool 5.25 fan controller and it looks really nice.
