im thinkin of getting the antec p180 the biggest problem is the fact that its steel, its weighs a ton and i go to lan party's alot so i need lite. id prefer either a big mid tower or a full tower. im thinkin lian-li, mayb. the thing i need mostly is my cpu fan is very loud (50 dba) i sort of get tired of hearing it. i want large amounts of room in my case. and good cooling like 2 or 3 120mm's like this
but if possible i want/need btx not atx case. help needed reps given

BTX still isn't that common but there are a few cases whihc are BTX compatible.

Some of these are:

Thermaltake Armor: http://www.thermaltake.com/xaserCase.../va8000bws.htm
Although it weighs in at a whopping 32 pounds.

Thermaltake Shark:
http://www.thermaltake.com/xaserCase.../sharkmenu.htm
Not BTX, but it's light and big.

Lian Li PC767:
http://lian-li.com/Product/Chassis/M_C_S_PC-767.htm
One of those silent cases, probably heavy but BTX compatible and alumnium

Coolermaster centurion BTX:
http://www.coolermaster.com/index.ph...st&p_class=632
Mid tower compatible with m-BTX mobos

Coolermaster stacker:
http://www.coolermaster.com/index.ph...-Stacker%20820
Big full tower, BTX compatible, not sure about weight.


Those are the main ones, more will come within the next year or 2 I'd guess but I don't know if and how big BTX will become.

I just put my new system in this one and it looks awesome in person! Btw, the drive cages are removeable and it has 5 X 80mm case fans. I painted the interior of it black and I LOVE it! Look at the link to see the case.....

I was very impressed with this case. It is the second time I've used it,but the first time I've painted the inside black.

Hmm..... I am partial to my NZXT Nemesis Elite, its aluminum and has 3 120mm fans which are a bit loud but no where near that 50dBA CPU fan http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811146007
I replaced the fans with quieter ones but it wasnt too bad before, especially if you can live with 50 dBA (I would guess the fans are 25-30 decibels tops)

Anything Thermaltake or Lian Li. They're lightweight, even the full towers. You really can't go wrong with them, their build quality is awesome.
