PC Power & Cooling vs. Addtronics

[mgravy]

Any opinions on the "PC Power & Cooling" solid steel enclosures w/ 400 power supply vs. the "Addtronics" W8500-400 for a dual CPU set-up?

I have the PC Power & Cooling 425 ATX, it is quiet and very stable, voltages +/- 1 %, you can't ask for anything better, but the price @ 199$ , it better be.

I believe the Addtronics WTX case is better because it seems like WTX specs make more sense as far as case layout goes.

... But I love the looks for the PC Power Cooling deluxe chrome case

ReMeDy-
I'm looking to buy either the PC Cooling or the Addtronics case, and just wanted to hear the pro's and con's of any user experiences (enough to sway me one way or the other). I absoultely cannot decide between the two. They are both great cases with approximately equal price tags. Any other input?

as far as the WTX case goes, it has alot of space for upgrading. Very big on the inside for cooling setups. If for some reason you ever decide to get a P4 the motherboard will fit right away since it is p4 spec'd. Easy to move around for upgrading with the wheels attached but having to lift it up is pretty heavy maybe about 40 to 45 pounds i think. The 6 front lights on the case are the bitch of the case. They are poorly constructed to stay seated in its proper slots. Took me about 45minutes to an hour just to get them in place. The Hard drive cage is equipped with a 92mm fan that is good for cooling IDE or SCSI RAID 0 setups that you might have. Other than the lights being poor the case on a whole is pretty good. But i wouldn't stop just there cause if i could go back to get another addtronics case it would be this one, right out the box this one is ready for some serious overclocking and more.
