The Antec P18x series are the perfect tower case. The P182 has the best
layout of any tower I have seen thus far. If you care about silent
operation, there's none other.

For desktop/HTPC, it's a matter of personal preference but antec and
silverstone seem to be leaders in that market as far as noise reduction and
zone layout.
I personally love the slick look of the CW02 from Silverstone, but not sure
if it's worth the 400 clams.

Gosh....I hate picking cases. I never seem to get the right one...I always
ended up hating what I picked...typically, it will end up being hard to get
the covers back on...that's how it is with the Lanboy...nightmare....My
Cooler Master ATCS is much easier to get into and get the covers back
on...but try to clean it's filter...argh! And I gummed up the front
faceplate somehow so all of the screws won't go back in....and the little
door that covers the USB ports on the front doesn't always act
right....and..things are tight on the inside....try to change our a drive
is a bear of a feat.
Is there a perfect case? If you guys were going to drop coin on a new
system, what case would you go with and why? Oh, I've considered the CM
Cosmos, but that's a monster case. Too big!
