...I have a fat-a$$ In-Win Q600N that ive modded with 6 panflo fans including 2-120mm's. I have a 120mm blowhole cut thru the front bezel and an 120mm exhaust in upper rear,I have 2- 92mm side intakes over my video and CPU. I replaced the power supply fan with a 80mm L1A and one more 80mm L1a just under it........My case is all Panaflo!...and with 6 of them running full time......its still pretty quite!
I built my buddy a system in the Sx-830 about a month back and i liked it alot..but funny....he liked my case more than his.....but he seen mine all modded.....=)
I would miss my slide-out MB tray and the sheer size of the interior of my Q600N to "down-size" to a SX-830.....but i still really like them alot!.....i may build a new system in one someday......but for now...im enjoying my beast!....I wishi had some pics....cuz i know you guys would love it!....i did a very professional job on it.....grills,filters,trim rings,......the whole 9 yards...!
But back to which one.......i agree with this >>>>> If you want a great cooling trouble-free,maintainence-free,good sized tower...right out of the box........go with the antec.
If you got a "pair" and you can handle personalizing a monster yourself.....then go with the Q500N/600N.......there one helluva deal for what you get. But i think you really gotta mod the Q500/600N to really see whats shes made of......even if its just cutting out the steel for the fans and putting some shiny grills in there!
So recap:
*** you want "stock decent case" >>>> ANTEC SX-830/1030
*** you want "killer potential to scream" >>>>> INWIN Q600N/500N
Ok maybe im just too damn proud of the fact that i made a kick ass case.....all by myself.....but hey.....thats what being a "geek" is all about........being creative with your stuff.....never accepting "stock"
I think its very fun to mod your own case......and the Q500/600N is a great base in which to work.
the antec is very limited to the modding that can be done without killing the look of it.
