Mid/Full Tower Case

[Viper27]

What is the difference between mid and full towers?
Size is an obvious one, but in terms of drive storage and room, this case falls somewhere in the gray area between them.

Let me know any opinions of the case.
It's twice as much $$$ on newegg.com.
Thanks

You're "link" is "bad" -- one gets the "cannot find URL" message.

Generally, a full-tower case provides more room for hard-disks and other paraphernalia. There's more "space" for access to components when you need it.

I had originally ajudged full-tower cases as "being cooler," but I'm beginning to conclude that this, too, is not correct, if a midtower has good intake and exhaust.

I've actually been looking at this series of case for a while now. I really like it and has received many stellar reviews from different sites.

But the one you have linked is not the same one that is $150 at Newegg.
Here are the four different models:
Navigator Comparison

From left to right:
No window, Steel, 450W generic PSU
Window, Steel, 450W generic PSU
Window, Steel, 500W slightly better dual rail PSU
Window, Aluminum, Aspire AS500W Acrylic PSU (bling factor)

The cases seems to be very nice and well designed. Looks are up to each person, but I really like the style.
As for the PSU's, it seems to be hit or miss with them. Some seems to be having working perfect, even on fiarly high-end systems, while others complain of them dying very quickly or alway being unstable.

If I was buying today, I'd get the 3rd one, and then try the PSU out to see if it can run stable. But I would also be prepared to put a higher quality PSU in if necessary.
