Help choosing a case

Post by .weir » Wed Mar 22, 2006 7:23 pm

Alright, I started a thread earlier trying to decide on a heatsink, and was planning on going with an SI-97 w/ 92mm Nexus. Now I have a new option, I have two possible scenarios, which should I go for?

Scenario 1:

Antec SLK3000B
Forton 400W 120mm PSU
Thermalright SI-97
2xNexus 120mm
1xNexus 92mm
Arctic Silver 5
nGear Aluminum HDD enclosure

Scenario 2:

Antec P180
Zalman CNPS7000-Alcu
Arctic Silver

I will probably be using the case I buy to build a new system in the fall, so I'm assuming that will tilt in the P180's favor, but I get so much more for my money with the SLK3000, plus I'd have an ATX 2.0 PSU for upgrading if I went that route.

I have a feeling everyone is gonna say P180 . . . just want to be sure
