I have the K58, and by the looks of it, it is pretty similar. Except for the PCI card slot on the K58 is all toolless.
These cases are made by Lian Li, just with steel and plastic not all aluminum.
I personally love my K58 (a definite upgrade over my old Antec 900) It has great airflow and unbelievable cable management.

Why dont you go for the K58? its only like $10 more.

I was actually looking at the K58W at first but didn't want to buy extra things to mount the extra fans on the top. I rather just buy a K62W if I wanted all that. I'm just wondering if two fans will give enough airflow throughout the case.

Check out Mwave, I like mwave better than newegg for case purchases because Mwave's shipping prices are cheaper.

LIAN LI Lancool PC-K60W - $83

Lian Li LanCool K58 - $73

LIAN LI Lancool PC-K60 -$73

LIAN LI Lancool PC-K58W -$72
http://www.mwave.com/mwave/skusearch...iteria=AA75761

Lian Li LanCool K62 - $99.98 (For the K62, you should add a filler (the ones with free shipping) to qualify the $10 off discount with code -> FALLSVG09) I just think the K62 offers everything versus the Antec 902 @ a better price with "better" quality and more features.

Thanks for the links! My company has an account with mwave so I can dodge the tax and I can pick it up since its only 10 miles away from my work.

I just built a system for a friend in the K56 and one for myself in the K62. The 56 is a great case, it's basically the same design as the k62 except it's missing the top mounted fans and the inside isn't painted black.

It feels sturdy and is made well, the tool-less installation was fine except you'll want to put screws into your 5.25 drives as the locks aren't secure enough for my taste. It's also a really good case for cable management with the PSU mounted on the bottom you can route your cables up the back pretty easily. The only thing I would caution is that you need LONG power cables as they have to stretch from the bottom of the case to the very top.
