or just lock the door to your room, i spent 4 years in college never had an issue with this, my brother took the door off his cause he hated it so much, hes also in college
Many suggestions for other Antec cases... is that the best brand? The Lian Lai is niiiiiiiice, but a bit pricey...

So does milk spoil if it's being carried by one of the millions of US soldiers issued desert eagles? :roll:
How full of yourself are you? You're the one taking fun little ATOT discussion and making them personal. "OMG pwnage! What's a sarcasm?" Yup... You have quite a reputation going.
Methinks it's a bit past bedtime
"Best" depends who you ask. Antec does make high quality cases and my personal brand of choice, though I did get a Shuttle when building my htpc. On wattage, for a basic non-overclocked setup with a hdd, two optical drives, a video card and maybe a sound card, 350w should be plenty. After all Dells (even the ones with real video cards) use.. what, 200-250 watt PSUs? Not even Antec PSUs, afaik. Small Form Factor PCs like my Shoebox are even lower, and I've got a ti4600 cranking in there... Higher wattages are for specific purposes, such as dual-CPUs, tons of hard and/or optical drives, heavy overclocking, etc.
I'm not following you around other threads, you're following me. I also don't take any ATOT discussion seriously... it's usually others who take my light-hearted posts personally. They end up getting pwned in the end (like you).
because it's made to be quiet and looks good to many people. and door is not stupid. gives it a cleaner look, especially if you got some non-matching color drives.
personally I got the antec SLK3700-BQE (http://www.newegg.com/...w...9-140&depa=1)

becuase i dont like the letters on the sonata and i heard it's rather small
the case is really nice to work with (drive trays and sideway hd rack). quiet and feels very sturdy. also looks pretty good
I like the door on my sonata. My computer is always on and I rarely use any of my optical drives. The piano black finish is great, and it looks nice with or without the deathstar blue lights on. Plus it comes with a 380w ps

Kingwin KT-424. I use the black one, actually cost more when I bought it. I like it, solid construction and aluminum, I was surprised at how light it was. The fans are kinda loud though, but the case comes with a controller (hidden) for the front fans. That and I haven't gotten around to changing the fans out yet.
I used the Antec SLK3700 for my brother's computer, the paint is beautiful. That case is also nice to work with, however, I liked the kingwin better because of the removable mobo tray. Still easy to work with, cheaper than the kingwin, and comes with a quality PSU.

the kingwin has front mounted usb (2) and firewire (1) , even though the firewire is through a pass-through cable (and I've never hooked it up because of that.. plus I don't have any firewire devices). I have the USB connected, but I've never used them.
I believe the antec SLK3700 also has front mounted usb, 2 ports I think.
And since I can't edit my first post anymore.. (gogo new jrun)
http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=11-170-014&depa=0 is the 2nd link, properly linked. (I hope)

That's the spirit! I appreciate your honesty so much that, if you need any help with your material, I am willing to help you out via PM or whatever. In fact, I can hook you up with some of the jokes I used on the forum ~2 years ago.. they are probably still considered fresh compared to your current stuff.

"...450 watts or more..." :roll:
...a quality 300 watt PSU is enough to run ... every PC out there...
