I am going to be building a P4 3.2 system in the future, and am buying it in "pieces" now....but I am confused as to what case would be the best?? I'm also a little confused about the difference in the power supplys that come with the Antec cases....what should I be looking for to use with a P4 3.2 system?

I really like the Antec cases, but not sure which one to go for...can you guys make any recommendations as to what case would work great for a P4 3.2?? If you know of any on sale anywhere, that would be awesome!

Any advice appreciated!

Antec SLK3700AMB
comes with an antec 350 watt power supply.
2x120 mm fans (1 included) one of the nicest cases i have ever worked with and it's only about $65 plus shipping.

the antec 1080amg you referenced comes with the Antec true power 430 power supply. this is one of the most popular ps around and does have the extra p4 plug (which most ps have now). I have a antec slk3700 and the antec 1000 series like the 1080. the 1080 has the better ps and more room. both have good ventilation with fan mounts both front and rear. and both ps have dual fans also. the 1080 uses 2 fans in the back and 1 or 2 in the front - all 80mm. the 3700 uses 1 120mm fan each in front and back. because the 3700 uses larger but slower turning fans, its a little more quiet - if thats important.

Thanks for the advice man. What do you think about the Antec P1080AMG Tower Case?? It costs a little more, but how would this do for a P4 3.2 system? Is the power supply that comes with this one compatible with the P4's?

Here is the link to the site and the details:

i like the slk better, 120mm fans, nice hard drive cage, doors open nicer IMHO

the other power supply is better though
