Started thinking about building a New system instead of Rebuilding my XP1800 and found this Antec Case. Very interested in how noisy it is in regards to mid-tower matx case, especially as everyone seems to love the Antec P180's, that appear to be designed for quiet.
Another question is will it handle the weight of a standard 17" CRT placed on top? As that allows me to reclaim about half my desktop back from the computers. More work room finally.

Re: the noise, you should really just read the review. You'll get a far more objective take than any of us could give. IIRC, the article summarized that it was easily the equal of the best tower cases for quiet potential.
Re: the monitor. I would have no hesitation doing it to mine. It could probably support a 21" CRT.

I hadn't even spotted that review.
Edit
Just finished reading the review and see that my question was a tad noobish. At least I do know it was designed to be fairly quiet and provide good cooling and that's important to me. It also looks much nicer then my old scratched/dented rattletrap of a case.
