Dunno much about the Thermaltake one, but I have an antec 900 and its nice. Had to black tape the damn fucking LEDs though, god those pissed me off.

yea. if u like to sleep with your computer on in your room. Those fucking lights are bright as shit and annoying. I wouldnt be able to stand it after so long.

Just thought I'd toss in my 2 cents.

I own a Thermaltake Armor tower (not the exact model you specified, but relatively the same). The Thermaltake is MASSIVE. The design however I'm not so thrilled about. The case is a relatively old model and not laid out in the best manner.

The Thermaltake also has a top mounted PSU, as opposed to a bottom mounted PSU. It's really personal preference, but I think for cable management a bottom mounted PSU is normally easier to handle since the graphics cards aren't on the complete opposite side of the case like most top mounted PSUs.

All-in-all, if you want more space and don't necessarily care about cable management as much, go with the Thermaltake. If prices are the same or not much different, I'd go with the Antec though.

Antec is at 80 bucks after MIR, Thermaltake is 50.

It says $89.99 after the $40 rebate for the Thermaltake. Am I missing something here? Also $19.99 shipping.

Antec 900 is $79.99 with free shipping. I have an Antec 900, best case I've owned so far. Like it better then the Lian-Li's I've had surprisingly.

Yeah I covered the blue lights on my Antec case with gaffer's tape. When I'd watch a movie on my PC with the lights out it felt like someone was shining a fucking flashlight in my face the whole time. Love the case overall though, bought it because for the most part it's just shiny black metal, none of the stupid spaceship looking shit, just the two LEDs on the front.
