I need a case

Ok so I am finallizing a new build (it won't be happening until AM2 is realeased, I want to see how it performs, and untill I have enough money for a 7900GTX) and I need a case. I really really really want a Chenbro Gaming Bomb II, I don't know if I'll be able to find one or not. I like Lian Li's but I don't know what one I would get. I have also looked at Cooler Masters, SilverStone's, and Thermaltake's. I never have really been a Thermaltake fan, I don't know why but I haven't. I am looking for something nice, but I don't really want flashy (like tons of lights and crazy looks). I want something sleek and beautiful, yet functional with nice cooling and sound (as in not much sound along with heat). I am looking for something in the $100-$200 range, I wouldn't mind going higher if need be. Also thanks to all the people that replied to my last post, I couldn't find it to post replies, I havn't been on for a while.

Id stay away from Thermaltake, the Saprano and Tsunami I worked "felt cheap"

 

Light and a tad flimsy, but overall a Nice case (cause its extremely light)

Antec Super Lanboy

Tall and roomy, good looking and working case w/ window

Antec P160

Ive owned both and can say they were not regrets, as my P180 is.

I worked on a bunch of Antec and overall they make good qaulity cases.

What dont you like about the Ammo ?

 

 

1) side covers dont have hinges, difficult to remove

2) front panel difficult to open and plastic bolts holding it onto the chasis are easy to break

3) computer resets when I close/open the reset button lid

4) cheap screws, front fan wont come off because I took the fan off once and ruined the threads on the screws in the front. I had to cut the whole damn thing off with a dremel.

5)noise reduction is poor

6) doesnt come with back fan

7) power/reset button plate is loose

 

 

I'll stop but I could go on. However, for a $70 case, its pretty sturdy and doesnt feel too cheap. In hindsight, I should have bought the lian li with the fish...

 

So pietz any of our suggestions tickle your fancy?
