    Antec solution series

    I was thinking about getting this Antec case from NewEgg, and wondered if anyone had any experiences with it. Also, it says it comes with a 'Smart Power' PSU. I was curious if this is considered a good PSU, like the Antec True Power (I think it's called that). I like that it uses a 120mm fan rather than 2 80's - would think it is quieter.

    Any reply would be much appreciated

    We were talking about this case about 2 weeks ago. It has good cooling potential and good power supply. Go for it.

    I really like the 120mm fan concept, should run very cool and very quiet. Good choice! Antec cases and PSU are among the best price/perfromance-wise!

    The server that runs here where I work is a Dell Powerserver (or something like that). I liked the case they used, wide with a 120mm fan. The Antec is 8.25" wide, which is a bit wider than most cases which are typically 7". This seems to be much like the Dell in width and I really like that 120mm fan. Unless there are any dissenting opinions, I think this is my case - thanks for the replys!

    I happen to have that very case covering my second PC. It was my main case before I switched to my TT. It is a GREAT case, and keeps my system nice and cool. I went from a generic case with 1 fan to the Antec and it lowered my temps by 5C. Highly Reccomended!!


    PS-The power supply from that case is now in my main case power the system ion my sig. Runs GREAT!
