ZPAPASMURF: Do you have a dust problem with your case because of all those holes? If you had a UV light setup in there, would like light leak through the front??

I dont have any lights so I cant comment on that, but after a week of nonstop use, there is no visible dust buildup on the interior of the case. If i run my finger over the metal inside and no dust rubs off onto my finger. Thats not to say that there is no dust, but it doesnt seem to be a problem at this pont.

Someone mentioned build quality and in that respect the V-1000 is great. If im not mistaken the aluminum is all 2mm thick, the sides have a neat serrated finish along the edges and the holes are all evenly sized and spaced.
 
For over a month, I have been focused upon the Praetorian. I love the fact that it has a look of diginity and yet is a very well laid out case. My only concern are the 80mm fans, which is why I was thinking about getting the Antec power supply with the 120mm fan to help exhaust the back.

I am uncertain why some folks are concerned about the CM logo on the cover.

However, after the recent overclocking review, I have been considering the stacker. I figure that if I really want to learn how to overclock, I could step back one model of CPU on my purchase, (say the 3200+ instead of the 3400+ or 3500+ if I go 939). Tthen money saved by stepping back one CPu would cover the extra cost of the Stacker and I would be set for any future upgrades for years. Clearly, the 120mm front and back fans, with room for more, will give me plenty of overclocking heat play now and in the future. The optional 300mm side fan looks like it will throw a constant source of air across the entire motherboard.

Plus, the second available power supply bay is instant space if you later want to move to liquid cooling.

I found this review last night on another site. It has some really great pictures of the Stacker. Check it out. It is pretty damn impressive. I am getting ready to build my first machine and I am trying to learn all I can.

I like the size of all of them . I have the addtronics 7986(i think) and I love the ease of use . Good luck . Any one of those should do nicely .
