I would have to say 900 cuz i own 1, But as stated by many members here, they are a real peach to try to hide wiring. If you dont mind the wires so much it may be the right choice.

I have heard good things about the ARMOR JR. and that windtunnel XCLIO is a different alternative to the norm. I like it. These also look like there is more "hiding places" than the 900.

Good luck bro ,for me the case is one of the hardest decisions I made....still got the 900 based intirely on airflow, knowing I was gonna have to take the dremmil to her eventually.

I agree, great case, i wound up getting Silverstone TJ09-BW, but this was my second choice, from what i've read you can fit a gtx in there.

Tom, this case is nothing flashy, but it is the best built case I've ever owned. It's huge, good airflow,awesome motherboard tray and will fit ANY gpu you will ever buy. Not to mention it's now under $100. :D

if you want one on the cheap get a coolermaster 690 like mine, it has better cooling and cable mangement than the antec 900, if you want to buy top dollar get the armor or a stacker.
