Which to get? Antec, Enlight, or InWin

These are my choices:

InWin S700 w/250Watt PS
Enlight 7237 w/250Watt PS
Antec KS282 w/300Watt PS

InWin and Enlight are ~$40

Antec is $60

I plan on using the stock PS; I'll replace it later if necessary
 
Wait a minute - is the Antec a full-tower case? The pictures at a few of the websites I looked at showed a midtower, about the size of the Enlight. But the pic at Antecs site looks like a full-tower case. I don't want anything that big, if it is a full-tower.

 
I've used both the Antec and the Enlight cases. I prefer the Antec case over the Enlight, since the Enlight uses drive rails for all the 5 1/4" bays which is a pain in the a_s! :| Plus, the Antec is a very "roomy" case, with great airflow for Athlon systems......

Just my .02 😎
 
The Antec 282 is a mid-tower, and if you can get it for $60 with a 300w PSU I would go for that one - that's a helluva bargain.
 
Antec KS282 w/300W PSU

Shiping for the case is $20, UPS Ground. Duno if that's expensive or not, seeing as this will be the first time I've ever ordered stuff on-line (have to get a credit/debit card first). Shipping does seem to get better if you order more, though - Came to $36 total for the case, MB, CPU, and a Volcano II.


Anybody think the picture in the link above looks like the KS382? Take a look at this:

Antec KS282 & KS382

That's closer, but it still looks different - I think something funny's going on here.
 
The picture in your link shows only 3 external 5.25 bays. Enlight has 4. Also it has only one 3.5 external, enlight has 2.....

 
1. i'd get the enlight, but with a 3ooW psu. i can't find a link right now, i had one 🙁 oh well
2. you could always order one without a psu, and then buy a good psu

my 2 cents, i got mine without a psu for 35$ and bought a good enermax psu and i love it
 
since cases are a once every 2-3 year upgrade(supposed to 3 month😱) i would just splurge and buy either a sx1030 or a enlight wo/psu and get a antec or enermax psu. BTW, what kinda components you gonna have?
