If so have a long hard look at teh Antec SX1030(B) series.
I just bought one this week and they are mighty impressive and such a pleasure to work in.

*That* is one awesome case :eek:
It would almost be a shame to consider modding the exterior panels.
I'm curious as to how much it cost? Was there an included power supply?
I just love those yellow cables!
£69 ($95 USD) without PSU or £99 ($135 USD) with 300W Antec Quiet PSU.
Not even going to consider modding it at all :D :D There is no need to with the amount of airflow that is pushes as it stands and is a hell of a lot quiter than it was in teh old case :D

Nice. Might think about getting one of those (my old tower doesn't even close properly anymore, it's been taken apart so many times.
How heavy is it?
darren, that 300w "quiet" PSU..is that quieter than the Antec 412? and do they make a 400w version?
I was thinking of buying one of these cases myself...my Antec 840 has been a pleasure but this one looks cool.

Pass on the 400W, but it is damn quiet now I have cleaned the fan out :D :D There is ample power there though on the 300W version which has powered 3 x HDD, 2 x CD-ROM's & the rest of the system and still had plenty to spare!!!! Macron Power make some very good PSU's, but if you want Quiet, then take a look at the QuietPC ones that UKMatt posted about, as the rail amperages as the same as what the Macron I have is.
<a href="http://www.newegg.com" target="_blank">Newegg</a> has these cases for $76 with a 300w psu or $99 with a enermax 330w psu, both models come in black or white. i have built two systems with these in the last month and are awesome
Thats the kinda cases <a href="http://www.alienware.com" target="_blank">Alienware</a> uses
I built a system for a customer using one of these last month - I was so impressed I've just bought one to build our new office server in.
I got the 1040B which is the same case but with a 400W P4 compliant PSU for £82 ($120) from Computer2000.

Good price if you deal with Computer2000. I have dealt with them in teh past, but the amounts they want you to spend each month with them are a little high if business is slow (unless they have changed their business pratice now?)
