I had decided upon using an Antec 900 case a while ago, and now im not so sure if its the best choice.

I want a case that is/has:

  • Aesthetically appealing
  • Good stock cooling
  • Large side window
  • Good build quality

I've been looking at apevia cases but I have not heard much about them before, so I thought I would get some recommendations from people.

EDIT: is this any good, anyone read a review/heard about this? http://www.apevia.com/product.php?pid=231&xcSID=f6tqg8psc5d149qr1836o7shs7

~Thanks

The Antec 900 is superb, my friend recently purchased one and he has only found good things about it.

I'd go for the Cooler Master RC-690 personally.

And just my opinion, but that case is ugly as all get-out.

Depends on what is aesthetically pleasing to you. I love my NZXT Nemesis Elite. Great airflow and alarge window.

If you got the room, and you like the looks, you can't go wrong with a ThermalTake Armor.

Apevia has terrible build quality, atleast from the few cases I have come in contact with. Antec 900 is very sturdy, and the temps are great due to the airflow. I highly reccomend it.

Yeah if you want a full tower go for Armour or the Kandalf I just bought one of those and they kick ass. I have used mid tower up until now and the full towers are so much better to work with, they have a hell of a lot more space.

Also those model come with 4 fans 1 front 2 rear(near CPUand one nearPSU at the back of an HDD rack) and on the roof and a stupid amount of expansion bays. The build quality is amazing you can feel from just lifting the 18KG beast (black, 10KG for Silver). Rear fan has blue LED but you might want to add more if you like stronger lighting. Side has 3 windows which spread the whole length on the chassis so you can see everything.

Yeah I love mine it is a real nice case. So if you want full tower check it out. The Armour is basically the same without the front doors.

I've been looking for the past couple of days now at that very same case (the antec 900). And if it werent for the price (a bit our of my range), I would buy it ASAP.

It has almost nothing but good reviews.

My question to the TC is are you looking for a full tower case exclusively or any size case?

I would go through Froogle.com, it's a product sales search made by google. You should be able to find at least one website that ships to AU.

Hmm, shame, im afraid im not going to be able to get that case..any international shipping is way more than the price of the case itself, im really surprised no aus stores sell it.

It seems that I would be able to get some of the other NZXT cases, easier than the Nemesis, it would be dissapointing but they are still really nice, has anyone had an experience with another one of their cases?

I like the look of the Lexa Blackline, Trinity and Guardian
