Really tempted to get this case, but I don't really understand the difference between that and the 300 (plus I'm sort of leaning towards a full tower now that I'm updating my water cooling...)

They have this case for $79.99 at Directron (http://www.directron.com/ninehundred.html) also and their shipping is quite a bit cheaper (at least it was for me)

The 900 is just barely bigger than the 300...only a couple mm's here and there.

The 900 has the big 200mm fan up top which I like a lot better than the 140mm one in the 300.

The 900 also comes w/ more 120mm fans.

I've purchased a few 900's, but have only seen pictures of the 300. Based on what I've seen I like the 900 a lot better.

The 900 usually goes on sale a few times a year for $50-60-shipped, but this is still a good deal.

I love mine. I think I got mine for $70 or $80 with free shipping a year ago. Like Jason said it can purchased cheaper but this is still a good deal. The case looks great and really keeps things cool. The only drawback is that it pulls a lot of dust in because it's so open. Nothing a shot of compressed air can't fix though.

Watch Microcenter as well. I've seen them on sale there a few times in the last couple of months.

It was on sale last month at Microcenter for $69.99

This isn't the kind of thing I want to pay shipping on... I'll just wait until it pops up on sale again... if I decide to get it.

Otherwise I'll try to pick up something bigger. I'm going to need SPACE for my water cooling...

Bingo! Keep an eye on Microcenter.

Shouldn't these things go away or go down in price? I bought mine for $70 a year and a half ago. Time for a price drop or replacement.

Antec 900 Two is out. Go check it out, it looks like a smaller 1200.

if you want something bigger with no shipping try this http://www.thermaltakestore.com/xaser-vi-vg4000swa-refurbished-pro4000.html

I got the red one with side window. all the cases have free shipping on the thermaltake store. don't worry about it being so called "Refurbished" i got my Xaser VI for $99 shipped, and it was like brand spanking new. and the best part about it is that its a MONSTER. i don't plan on WC'ing but for air cooling, i got this sucker hooked up with 9 fans total. worth the 99 bucks.


and the best part about this is that Thermaltake says that "Thermaltake certified refurbished products often looks brand new, but may not ship in original retail box. All B-Stock products come with all installation hardware and accessories included in the retail version, and offer 90 days limited warranty."

now that Antec 900 can't beat the price. after adding up the taxes and shipping costs, i'm sure it will pass the $99 mark.
