All these years I've been using cheap computer cases from PC Webshopper that cost me $35 including shipping with 300W power supply. I am happy with them, but recently I saw a great deal on SX835 for $58 shipped so I figured that I'd jump on it. I got it today and OMFG!!! This case is unbelievable! Very well built, plenty of space, FIVE spots for fans, removable hard drive bay, great 350W PS... And, it dropped my ambient temperatures by more than 10C! Wow, now I can run my P4 @ 2.4GHz no problem. A great case, I highly recommend it to anyone!

Now you see why a lot of geeks are very particular about thier cases. I always used to buy Apex Supercases (they're the generic mid tower cases that are so popular among computrer shows and mom-and-pop operations) While not "awful" cases, I saw the light when I went to a Fong Kai case, and amazingly enough, no blood was drawn during installation! Amazing!

Antec cases are great. I've used both the SX830 and the SX1040 in the past. I no longer have my Antecs because I went Micro ATX recently.

I have a Cheiftec, and I LOVE the thng! It's the TA-10WD, huge monster thing, but, it's been an awesome case. Although it's a pain in the @$$ to move to LAN parties (like tonight :)), it's just the sturdiest case I've ever seen/used. I usually sit on it at the parties...it's so cold :D

Yes, been using Antec for 6 years now. First case was SX830, and now I own SX1080B. The best cases IMO. The USB/Firewire ports in front is a big plus for me.
