Hi all,

I currently have an Antec p182 (special edition). Its a nice case but unfortunately the side panel is broken and wont go back on so all my internal organs are exposed!!


So I need a new case!! Something stylish! I have been drawn to the Antec 902 and 1200 as I like of the idea of the power/restart buttons being on top of the case as I usually have my case on the floor next to my chair! However, I am not entirely sure about the blue lights everywhere! This may get annoying at night! Maybe its not big deal?

Anyway, I am looking for something stylish but also easy to work with. Something that will have room for future upgrades!!

Thanks in advance for any advice and suggestions!!

How much can you spend?
How about a Coolermaster Cosmos 1000?
Welcome to OCN, you can fill out your system's specifications instead of typing it as your "signature" here http://www.overclock.net/specs.php
As for a "stylish" case, I would recommend you the Cooler Master Cosmos S

A Lian-Li case such as the PC-7F for PC-60F would be my recommendation. They also have the power buttons on top too

Looks interesting from the pics I saw! I could only find the RV02 though where I normally purchase my stuff!

I am also deciding on a new case.
I am thinking about the Antec 902 or the LIAN LI Lancool PC-K62

I was also thinking about the blue lights but I think it will work out.

Hope you find what your looking for.

The Cosmos or Cosmos S would be my choice... everything else is too... flashy/ugly.


Or you could look at the manufacturer "Fractal Design". They're very similar to Lian Li in their stylings and are quite appropriately priced.

There's a thread on them.

The first case company that I think of when I hear stylish is Lian Li.

Silver or Black Aluminum, interchangeable clear/mesh side panel.

I personally would say the Antec 1200 (wonder why) or the HAF. Both good and attractive cases in my eyes. With my Antec 1200 experience I can definitely say it has a good air circulation. Keeps my components pretty cool.
Corsair Obsidian 800d is my dream case atm, getting one soon, very feature reach and excellent build quality!
no raven...? dont let the local availability scare you off, i live in oz and had mine shipped from japan....its that good
