oh yeah.. i really dont like the idea of extra hard drive bay which blocks the other front fan.. but it seems this case is in stock more than the sx830?

I got it mainly because I thought it looked a little better than the 830. The door was also useful to protect my Live!Drive IR when moving around... but the door only opens one way, the side I don't want it to open to, and you have to make sure you leave the door open when burning a cd or the cd tray will hit the door. Overall I think it's a great case, either way you go... by the way, the 1030 comes in black and the 830 doesn't... if you are interested.

Get the SX840 with a 400PS. Should be coming out soon if it's not out already....but the SX830 is still a great base!

I like the extra bay, blows right on my pair of hardrives. Some of the sx830's come with the extra bay also. Don't have to use it if you don't like it. Either case is nice, I do like my sx1030.

I believe that Directron has both cases in stock. They have excellent prices and a good reputation. If you place your first order on a weekend and spend more than $100, they give you free shipping or $10 off :) I don't need a new case, but I'm very tempted to buy a SX1030B.
