Opinions on ATX-MID Tower

Well I'm preplaning my tax money. I would like to get a new case and I have two in mind but cant make up my mind. Figured I would ask for everybodys opinion. The two case's I am thinking about are the ANTEC NINE HUNDRED TWO (

) and the Thermaltake ARMOR+MX (

). Keep in mind that I am only air cooling and not spending more than $150.

Well as I already told you I highly recommend the Cooler Master HAF series. I think you should get a full tower too because it will run cooler and there is more room to work and better air flow. So if you still want to get a mid size case you should look at...

$99.98
and if you want to get the full size you should look at...

$139.99 w/ free shipping

Ha, before i even read schlups post i was going to recommend the coolermaster HAF series also ( 922 mid tower, 932 full tower ). I've read many reviews about the HAF's, and the 932 has been the coldest case in many benchmarks I've seen. As far as going with full or mid tower, most of the time full tower cases have the extra room for a water cooling radiator and reservoir, should you need one. Other than that, the differences arent too large, but the extra room to work with should always be welcome. I my self have the Antec 1200, which is basically a full tower nine hundred two that you were looking at, plus a couple fans. These cases look really slick with black coated interior, the fan filters keep the case clean and tidy, and the rear mounted fan controllers are way more convenient than opening up your case all the time to adjust fan speeds.
And about that thermaltake, i have seen a couple at lan parties, but i dont think i would ever buy one. They probably have good airflow but im not a fan of their styling.
All in all i would say get the HAF 932 or Antec twelve hundred if you can afford them.
