Dead Horse? Addtronics 6896a or AMK Overclocker's case

You know what I dislike about the Addtronics case is the one hole for a 3.5" drive out. I just like being able to add a SCSI zip drive to my case with the floppy if the mood strikes me, without having to cludge some cutup fix.

I am also all about quiet this time around. I currently use the Enlight 7237 single panel version and it is one big echo chamber for my fans. I do not like the idea of using spray foam to ensure a quiet case and do not think 1" sheet foam on the inside will allow enough free airflow since it cuts down on the available space inside.

The AMK case I have zero experience with and know nothing other than a few favorable reviews. But it allows you to place another external 3.5 drive.

Any input in my ramble?

Here is a link to the Addtronics case specs:
http://www.addtronics.com/6896a.htm
~$80 US for the case from Addtronics (ahem jfh)
~$50 for an enemax 300watt PS bought separately

Here are specs of the possible AMK case I would buy before modifying it:

OCD-0003 24" tower
300 watt removable side panels,
1 3" fan mounted internally (intake)
$99.99 Canadian

Im no pro here or anything but there both good. This is my first time seeing the AMK case and i have to say that for cooling it looks great. The side door cut outs along with 2 60or is it 80mm out puts on the back. But the 6896 is a good case also. I currently have the 6890A and it has alot of stuff that other case's dont have and it does the job for me. But really i'd go with the AMK if you have seen any reviews on it.
