So you say that airflow is better, etc. Worth the extra ~£25?

If you want better cooling but not sidepanel window, Antec P182 is great. Nice and simple.

Antec 300 has a very nice airflow design

What's different in order for there to be a £14 price difference?

the reaper one has fancy heatpipes. lol

Basically waste for you. Buy beer for that 14 pounds.

edit: + slightly higher latency. makes absolutely no difference for ya.

The reaper one is excellent stuff, plus 5-5-5-15 latencies instead of 5-6-6-18. If you want to save though, you will not really notice the difference. On an AMD build the ram does not matter all that much anyways.

If I'm not going to notice the difference then it seems like a waste of cash.

Right, that's settled then. Off to bed now, will hopefully purchase tomorrow or in the next couple of days.

More advice, suggestions, etc is welcome.

Thanks everyone!

thats 0.05s better time in super pi. Only program you can even see the difference in theory

edit: + the heatpipe stuff is just marketing bs. I have simple hs on my 1600mhz ddr3.

the 900 just has crazy airflow... it's worth the 25 extra bucks...
and the cooler parts are the less chance that heat issues will pop up...

and the p182 is nice also like panzerfin said... more subtle without the blue leds but it's big and has good airflow...

Love is the answer

900 does not qualify as quiet case tho. sounds like liquid rather takes silence over couple degrees lower temps.

I have heard the 900 and i could hardly hear the fans... maybe i am going deaf...lol?

tbh the P182 sounds like the perfect case. Nice and quiet, no LEDS. I threw a extra 120mm fan in mine but its not necessary.

I would suggest this instead of the BFG GTX 260 because this had better reviews for quality and is only $34 more. Seems potentially safer. I have heard that EVGA have better customer support.

Well these are the options from Antec that I have:

The 900 is looking more tempting now, actually.

Christ, the P183 (presumably a minor upgrade to the P182?) is 54cm tall!

Just get the 300 and spend the money on something else.

liquidat0r: wtf.; +2,223|6877|UK

Well I have the money to spend, so I might as well upgrade something ...

When I gave a budget of £900, I was expecting it to come in nearer £1000.

The 900 is good since when? The only people who like it are 13-year-old RICER kids with a fetish for blue LEDs.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
