I've been looking at the TT Armor (Black) for about $154. All things considered, I find that to be a bit much, but from what I've heard, its quiet, cool, and spacious.

Are there any cases better than the TT Armor which offer nearly the same qualities at a lower price?

Any other cases I really should look into?

Note: I like the window...windows are a plus for me, as are the internal LEDs.

Yet another edit: If I get a case at like $100 so...I might upgrade my ambitions to watercooling instead of an XP-120 (or XP-90). TALK ME OUT OF IT! I BEG YOU!

Antec P160. Just don't break the top part where all the plugs are because you can't get a new one.

Hm...lookin' at it...it looks pretty cool.

On my previous note: Can anyone vouch that the TT Armor is worth it?

((Right now, specs are: 3200+ Venice, XP-120 with Panaflo M1A, DFI UT Ultra-D, TT Armor, Connect3D X800XL (with possible VF700), Modstream 520w...etc))

Edit: Don't know about the silverstone...I don't think I'm into the upside-down motherboard...

Ah! Sending me a link to your FS? *thwack*

Tis a good case, so it seems. So, right now...its the TT Armor (BTX upgradable, can put harddrives in front of a 120mm fan, sturdy, heavy, non-Aluminum, window, fan LEDs, many drive bays, air flow, room and holes for watercooling upgrade) vs. the Antec PLUSView 1000AMG (window, front-door, fan LEDs, plastic/metal mix?...etc).

Any other contenders? Any sturdy, quiet(ish), low-temp., window-d recommendations?

Toss in a couple more options...the CM Centurion 530 and the Thermaltake Tsunami (Dream).

TT Armor (~$150)
TT Tsunami(~$100)
CM Centurion(~$80) ((Man...I'm missing the window...don't make me mod you!))
Antec Plusview(~$75)
Other

Out of the above, which are good choices?

I got the CM Centurion. It's a quality case with all the good fixins any modder or reg case lover would love. The entire front is metal mesh and CAN act as an entire front intake (as in my case :)) Its a good case and keeps my mobo and overall ambient case temp below 30 degrees. That's a good thing considering I live in Guam :)

TT Tsunami Dream with no doubt, I wouldn't buy the TT Armor, one of my friends bought it and he is a lil bit dissappointed, he prefers the Tsunami once he saw mine.
It's cheaper, has a better design and no dust gets inside, that's one of the main reasons I would not buy the Armor.
Go for the windowed version!! It's awesome!

Alright...it's down to the TT Tsunami and the CM Centurion 530.

...I've seen ads for a Centurion 530 w/ side window and 450w PSU....er...is there a version with a side-window, or are they confusing the vents with windows?

Anyone have a windowed Centurion 530?

Agreed, makes the Centurion look like a no name generic.
