I've been drooling over this one too. So, you've had your hands on it,
huh? Personal contact make a difference....I wonder if CompUSA will
have one in their stores.....
Silent operation is very important to me. Also, I can no longer deal
with too might light coming from the case, which is a disadvantage of Hush.
For me, I'm unwilling to pay 400 bills for a case.
I guess right now my choice is between teh Sonata III and the P182 in
black. The Sonata has the advantage of being the less expensive
option. I guess as I get older I'm less willing to spend crazy on
PCs....probably because I spend crazy in bikes and women! :)

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!
