Thermaltake V9 vs. Antec 900

Hello there.

Currently, I'm looking for a new case, and have narrowed it down to two choices within my price range. The Antec 900, and the Thermaltake V9.

The question is which one should I get? Both look like they are really nice. I'm leaning more towards the Thermaltake V9 right now, but noticed that the Antec 900 is a very popular case.

I dont do a whole lot of gaming on my PC right now, mainly putting in flight hours in FSX, but plan on changing that soon. I Figured I want a nice case so I can eventually upgrade to a nicer video card without worrying too much about heat.

Any opinions  are welcome. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Thats actually the exact thermaltake V9 i was looking at.

The large fans are pretty impressive, and with the current area my computer sits, with good air flow, I'm certain that would keep the inside of the case nice and cool.

Plus you gotta love the black finish inside the case.

Both got the badass black interior. However, the 900 looks better on the outside.redneckdouglas

Actually, ive seen a few images of the Thermaltake V9 Black Editions with side panel windows.

However the one I'm looking at on Newegg doesn't have one.

EDIT: Scratch that, I was talking about the normal V9's with side panel windows.

I use the Thermaltake M9 (Similar to the V9) for my girlfriends PC and am very pleased with it. I picked it over the Antec 900 mainly because I am not a fan of the PSU on the bottom design.

But I painted the inside black myself, looks a lot better that way, IMHO. Newegg has it for $50 after rebate, with free shipping. That's what I paid for mine, well worth it IMHO.

I've considerd the M9, but found myself more attached to the V9.

Is the only difference between the normal V9 and the V9 Black Edition the side 230mm fan? (Aside from the interior color)

If you want a full tower with a side panel and big fans, take a look at the Xclio A380plus. I have mine purely for getting a fully stable oc on air.freesafety13
