Noob question about the case.. If I was to replicate your system, would there be any reason I should go with a P193 instead of the P183? Are there any advantages or disadvantages in doing so? I've read that the 193 has more room, and a couple extra fans (large in size as well). Would that allow for...

That site is awesome! I love the styles available and the prices aren't bad either (though cost isn't a primary issue). But both of the cases you picked are very cool.

The new computer will mainly be used for gaming. I'm in the middle of choosing a case, and I'd like to find a clear, see through case. But ...
