Quick case pick

I need to buy a case for an Athlon 64 3700+ and DFI NF4 Ultra.
I will be making this thing fairly quiet, but am not obsessed.
That is to say, I do this fine with regular cases currently.

Anyway, I don't have time to research, or even order Newegg,
so I am picking up a case at Compusa tomorrow...

I always liked the P180 but am not sure with some reviews
mentioning the cheap bowed door, and some other misses.

Here's some spendy cases I saw at Compusa, help me pick one:

Antec P180 ATX (not perfect... far from it?)
Cooler Master Praetorian 730 (looks nice... but is it?)
Cooler Master CMStacker (pictures make it look very cheap)
Thermaltake Shark Black Series
Gigabyte Technology 3D Aurora

I dont know abouy your store, but mine doesnt have half they cases they show online as being in-store.
 
Antec P180 ATX
Cooler Master Praetorian 730

one of those. unless u need to stick a TON of things into ur case, and need room for WCing and such... i cant recommend those larger cases.
 
I think they've fixed the issue with the P180 door. I had a problem with it not closing all the way, unless I locked it. I contacted Antec and they sent me a new door for free, which had no problems. Same thing with the side panels. I think due to the revolutionary design from the superthick Al/plastic/Al vs. the normal steel or aluminum panels/doors, the early production run had issues because the plants who made the cases had to make some adjustments due to its significantly different design vs. normal cases.
 
Its a personal preference type of thing. If it were me I'd get the P-180. Keep the door locked to avoid the dreaded door problem. Thats just my own opinion though. Others have theirs. Happy shopping.
 
Yes. It was in stock as they said.

I installed it, everything going good. My computer hasn't even blow up yet.
I figure it's only a matter of time though since DFI refuses to support power
supplies under 480 watts. 😛
