ANTEC Silver Aluminum Performance 1 Series

sontana

which would you buy? i dont use any pci slots and i dont need a floppy and i have a good PSU to go in em. i wont be traveling. I also already have a Tt hardcano which is temp display and front usb/firewire and my drives are beig. Which provides better cooling, assuming i buy an extra fan for the later? also, do those covers on the alluminum performance cover my beig cdrw and make its colour appear uniform when its closed?

The P160 will cool a bit better than the Super Lanboy. The P160 has drive doors on the top two 5.25" bays that hide the drive beneath themso you can use beige colored drives and you won't be able to see their faces.

The Super Lanboy comes with 2 fans already, the P160 only has one but that one will most likely be more than enough, unless you're running a very hot setup.

Look at my review of the P160 here. I also reviewed the Super Lanboy.

The Super LANboy is fugly IMO. The P160 looks pretty nice, as is the Sonata (Although the blue lights are VERY bright). I'd get the Sonata and sell the PSU to help pay for the case.
