CM Stacker or ??? for $100?


I'm looking for a new case. Planning to build a new computer sometime after the new year.

I'll probably use water-cooling, or perhaps phase-change. I need 3 5.25" bays, and at least 3 internal 3.5" bays (preferably more), an external 3.5" would be nice but not necessary.

I'm looking to spend around $100 on a case. And I found the CM Stacker on Ebay is around $100. Would that be a good case for my needs, or would something else be a better choice?

*edit* I just looked at the Antec P180. It looks like a good case too, but it's a bit more expensive.

thanks, that looks like a pretty nice deal.

The CM Stacker uses an adapter for it's 3.5" bays, right? Is it possible to buy a second adapter to have 6 3.5", or will it only support 3 3.5"?

Dang and I just got the P180 from Fry's for $90 shipped. I was considering the stacker but all I could find was $140+ w shipping when I checked ebay there were none lol. Not that the P180 is a bad case I hope it's as muffled as everyone says but if I ever wanted to put WC it would be a pita compared to the stacker. ah well

Yah i actually stumbled across it by accident, I did a search for "stacker" and the only thing I got computer related was paper trays for copiers.

Once I just pulled up cases, saw some stackers ending this evening, wierd.

I always tunnel down to the correct category first I don't know if that matters. But I am certain they weren't there Thursday or Friday because I did pull up the newer model stacker from a search just not those. Ah well I haven't done WC in 10 years of building computers I doubt I'll start soon and if I do I know I can make it fit in the P180 just won't be as simple as 'slap a 2x120 rad in the front and hook it up.'

This article caught my attention because I am in the market for a stacker and so I found zipzoomfly has it for $110 after $20 MIR and it has free shipping. A lot better deal than I was gonna get at SVC with a nearly $50 shipping charge.
