The IMT is a lot better looking in mY opinion

The question is whether you are going for looks or for cooling, from what I see on the specs of the IMT, the Antec has better cooling as well as ease in modding it to add more cooling suck as side fans and a top blowhole. On the other hand if you are going for looks, the IMT is one sweet looking case.

If you can't impress them with your intelligence, confuse them with BULL SH!T.
They Antec is definately better. the IMT is one ugly *** looking case.
------------------
I'm not a NEWBIE! I just post like one.
Depends whether you want a quality built case or cheap.. if cheap go IMT. I've looked at both closely and chose antec... the imt looks nice and the blowholes on the side can hold large fans but the case construction overall is flimsy and cheap compared to the antec.

Wait a min, how much is that IMT case?? Its 89$ there where as the sx1030b is found for 81$ on pricewatch.com. I like the sx1030b look alot better and cooling options/mods are alot more broad. But if you dont plan on getting any extreme cooling and just wanna go for what looks good obey your thirst :-)

From what I have read, they weigh about 32lbs. That's very heavy for a midtower, but you are getting nothing but quality through and through. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/08/2.gifQuote:

Go with the Antec case, they're amazing quality. I just got a SX1240 myself and I love it!
Another vote for the Antec/Chieftec.
And yes, It's pretty heavy and big too, for a mid tower. I don't hump mine around though.
I like it.
