Hi all, I just mess up my 2nd blowhole mod on my Tt Xaser II. :(

now i guess it is time for me to move on :D to the new case.

I was planning to get the antec P160. i heard both good and bad things abt it.

So I have some questions on this case, hope you guys can help.

1. I know it will not fit a 38mm, but Can I fit a "32mm" thick 120mm case fan in the front fan mount?
Coz, i guess bought a Delta "3 Blades" 120mm X 32mm that pushes 130+cfm. (this is a really"cool" looking fan, pun intend.

2. Is the case strong? I mean the dent resistent of the case, I have a lot of kids in the house who arm themselves with radio control car that tend to kamikaze into my case. It is very important that the exterior of this case is strong enough to withstand these impact.

any comment is welcome

Thanks in advance

1. Well with the hd cage in the way, and the provided fan tray, the 32mm thick 120mm fans won't fit. But there are mods that has been done that made 32mm fans fit in the front.

2. I have the case, and as you know its aluminum, therefore its not as strong as a steel case but it is still ok. All aluminums can bend more than steel.

Hope this help, if you have anymore questions, let me know.
