P150 looks like a well balanced case:

Robert J., welcome to SPCR!

It is an excellent looking case; if it comes out in black, I will buy one. If it comes in black w/o a PS, then I would buy one tomorrow...

just to clear up my vote, i will get one...someday, assuming by the time i have the money to buy one, or by the time my girlfriend tells me to build her one that it's still available, and nothing better for the price is on the market...it's a slick looking case, and the integrated drive suspension is just friggin awesome, beats the hell out of what I've got goin currently

i'll never buy it, and not because its not a good case. i think its quite possibly one of the best mid tower cases ever built

i just wont personally buy one ever because i will never own a case this big ever again.

I voted "yes" but I already have one.

How about changing the question to "Would you get this case?"

I've been smitten by it, but its price is totally out of scale with the inexpensive components I'd put inside it. It's quite possible I might someday give in, though.

Thank you Neil, glad to be here.

That review was great Ralf. The explanation of how the hard drive suspension system works makes this case even more desireable.

A full 50% said yes on the poll! Wow!

I WANT to buy one (but the poll is closed!)

Looks like a case with high SAF. I think I'd buy one to build a machine for someone who lrates aesthetics highly (and surprise them with the quiet!).

But I want one for myself, too

Hello,

I hope that nobody minds that I reopened the poll?

Has a great layout, but I prefer EATX length cases. Also, I'd rather not have to re-buy white bezel drives to replace my current black ones.

You don't have to do that, they're stealthed. Unless you mean the floppy drive.

Well at least it's nowhere near as fugly as the P160.

Boy Antec doesn't know how to photograph cases, NewEgg does a far better job. D'Oh!

I'll give it two months or so for the price break to hit. I've been watching for a decent case to replace the aluminum noise-maker my kids' machine is in. (Old style Meridian M205) This looks like the one.

Antec is doing a very good job of paying attention to the hobbyists who spend the extra $$ for excellent gear. That couldn't always be said.

With the steel side panels, a window will be a more acceptable option than with the P180. Antec should consider reinforcing the door to accomodate a window cut without becoming a vibrating source of noise. Not that I'm into case windows, but I know plenty of folks are, and why not satisfy them?

I share your thoughts, but towards the Canon A620 digicam.

Will you get this case?
