On an impulse buy, I bought the CM 690 and the Antec 900. I've had the Alienware since Woot sold it, maybe 3 months? I was going to resell the 690 an 900 locally, and make enough profit to buy an 830. Nobodys really biting, even $10 above the after-rebate price. I like all the cases, I just cant choose!

It might help if you told us what hardware you intend to install in the case you're about to choose.

My 690

However its not the best case if your looking at silence. Neither is the 900.

I guess I want to trade cases because there's not enough "flash" on the MJ-12. Yea its alienware and lots of people have said "oh ****, youve got an alienware. Right now in the mj-12 I have a 680i, 8800gt, q6600, 550w Ultra psu, 160 gig hd, 1 gig (%#$@$##, 1 sticks dead an patriot isnt responding to rma requests) an I have a CM Geminii cpu hsf, along with a zalman 6 channel controller

yea, i dont really care about noise now that I have a fan controller, and my hard drives are in sliencers. Loudest part I can tell right now is when im scrolling down a page, the mobo makes some weird sound.

If you're wanting bling, I don't know what to suggest.
With the Stacker or 690 you can liven things up a bit by adding fans w/LED's.
I think the Stacker 832 looks a little cooler than the 690, but a toss-up between the looks of it & the 900. It depends on one's tastes.
There's a deal right now on the stacker...<$100...last day, though. There's also several places to get the 690 cheap. Dunno what your budget is, though.
I'm never happy with a case...hehehe.
