I don't know if its just me, but I built a system into a P180 and the internal layout of that case was god awful.

I really don't see the appeal of these cases other than being quiet.

For the price, the Antec cases are decent... but work with a Lian-Li or Silverstone, you'll never touch Antec again.

It really depends on the case itself and the purpose. I've gone though many case in the past 2 years; Armor, PC-7BPlus, Cosmos, TJ10, P182, HAF, PC-A05, and currently the Mini P180.

You will find that every case has it's ups and downs. You can't really discriminate by brand because everyone is looking for something different, however you will notice trends. I've had two Lian-Li and antec cases in a very short period. Which shows that have served me well before.

Next into the competition will be the Corsair case which looks like a winner.

Agreed, next on my list is MountainMods... while the build quality isn't there, the layout is pure win.
