Well, the Antec Nine Hundred has 1 rear 120mm fan that has a 3-speed switch control and 2 front 120mm fans with 3-speed control switch to cool hard drives and a nice 200mm fan to cool mobo/gpu. So it's got some nice features too. But i'm still stuck between these too cases..

It's got some nice features, handles, removeable door that can switch sides. I do wish more cases would do the tray thing for the motherboard, it's just so much nicer than having to cram your hands into a tight spot inside a case without one.
Price though, yikes!
Interesting topic on these bottom power supply mounted cases, might need some extention cables for the motherboard power.

Lol well that isn't final yet. I think i might go back with the Armor or the 900. So i can get a better mobo.
Is that mobo you posted a good one or just a decent one?

Yeah, go with a lower priced case and get a P35 "Bearlake" board - While they're only using DDR2 memory it'll allow for the newer 1333FSB which the new Quads that will be out soon will be using, there's a few P965 boards that'll do 1333 with bios update.
The P35 boards will be released in quantity very soon, you can find them here and there right now if you look.

Well I changed Back to the Armor Case and the SteelSound 5H v2 Headset and the EVGA 122-CK-NF63-TR LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard.
Price is now like 970 after rebates
