Currently looking at the Thermaltake Armor or Kandalf for a full sized box...

OR

the Armor Jr. vs Antec Nine Hundred for something smaller.

I'm really having trouble deciding. Feedback?

Hmm, I agree for the 900, but I would however myself choose something like the Antec P180b performance one.

I looked at the P182/180B, but some have stated they had to remove the upper drive cage to accommodate their video cards.

One thing I look for in any case purchase is intake fans covering my HD's. If it doesn't provide enough cooling for my HD's then I won't consider it.

I went with the Gigabyte 3D Aurora, and I'm very happy with it. The aluminum keeps things very light indeed, and it's not a case so popular as the Armor, which a lot of other users have.

I have one of these cases and haven't had to remove anything to fit anything else. My power supply fits fine. My video card fits fine. And there's plenty of room left over.

My next case will be the CM Stacker 832 from Cooler Master. The 830 is a really good choice as well.

I own a P180B... you only need to remove the bottom of the upper set of HD cages to put in a GTX or Ultra-sized cards. GTSs or HD2900s fit just fine. There's also still a lower set of hard drive cages with their own fan to pull air in over them. It's a bit warmer than my old Lian-Li setup was, but still good airflow.

I just bought this case, couldn't afford the antec 900 so this is cheaper, but still very good imo.

You can't go wrong with a ThermalTake Armor. Tons of room and great airflow.

Checked out the Elite. A little too funky (subjective) for me. The Zero looks nice.

The CM Stacker 830 & 832 look great. They are a bit pricey.

Some great advice...I think I'm just going to copy the dimensions for the top candidates & measure out my room to see which will fit in best (in both style & size).
