Need a new case for my Son. Its his Bday the 17th of may, and he is getting a 8800GT or a 8900 somet, did not make up my mind yet. But he is for sure getting my EVGA 680i with my E6600 etc etc with a Enzotech Xtreme-X heatsink (never used it) but what case to buy that is the question? 100-200 euros is the sort a price tag here.

I'm currently looking at the Thermaltake Armor/Kendalf cases. I think they are great. Probably going to pick one tomorrow (as my PC is caseless for now).
Those Antec cases are mid-towers, which are generally small for my case, and with a huge cooler like that, there's really no room at all. I have a Tuniq Tower 120, which is just a bit smaller than that XTreme, and trust me, mid-tower is a no-no.

Do they have full towers? Mid towers are not recommended with huge coolers.

Yeah, too pricey. Armor + more fans comes cheaper, plus the extra fans on the Armor tear those models apart. So I'll have dent, big deal!

Armor is all aluminium, while the black ones have steel on some parts. The black ones are heavy as hell, but they are much cooler.

Just checked out the Vid review from 3D Gameman and I think the P182 seems to be the right choice here. What I like about it is the clean design and also the cable management. As I have a Lian-Li for my own PC I know the quallity is superb, but its a tad to much for what my Son need, money wise and also he would not really care  .

My favourite case is the Rebel-9 from Sharkoon.
I also think fisk should be unbanned.

He is getting 15, and his current crap case is exactly that. A plexi perversion with broken bits of tube neon hanging off it

Never understood neon in cases lol. I find it just too distracting, especially at night. My (now gone) case had this windows on the side, and my PSU had light in its 120mm fan. Damn that was distracting at night.

Built the rig last Saturday 17th/May (my Son's Bday). Antec P182, Evga 680i, C2D E6600, Evga 8800GT, OCZ 600W, OCZ SLI ready 1066MHz 2Gb, etc etc .
MAN! That Antec case is the STUFF!, very very impressed, price/quality/features!!!!! I give it 9/10 here. Cable management eazy peazy...just brilliant!.
If someone needs a new case that is CHEAP! and simply GOOD! I realy recomend the Antec P182!!!!
