New Case for System

[Napy]

Hi long time reader first post,
I've decided to build a system for the first time and I was wondering what your thoughts on this case was:

AntecPLUS1080AMGCase

I like the psu, cooling, and the size. I don't really need anyhting fancy. IF you guys have any other ideas on cases for a beginner like me please post them. Thanks.

BTW: Pricewise I don't really want to go much higher than this for a psu and case.

I'm partial to the Antec SLK3700AMB myself. It can be had for $64 shipped @ Newegg right now..

i recommend the antec sonata. its really nice and elegant looking and is my fav case so far. it comes with a 380W psu (more then enough for your needs), and is super quiet, even quieter then the plus1080amg. it also costs only $99 at newegg.com.

The Sonata is nice, but it doesn't cool as well as the 3700 BQE or AMB, and it's much more expensive. You do get a Tru-Power 380W though, but the SL350 dual fan is still a nice PSU.

One more thing, it's $99, but it has $15 shipping, so it's really more like $114, which is almost double the cost of the AMB.

The 1080 will be the loudest of any of the case mentioned since the front is so open, and it's sort of a dated design.
