Thermaltake vs Antec

[Tylantt]

Hey guys, I was looking at computer cases at Newegg and I saw 3 cases that I want to compare.

Antec Twelve Hundred: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129043&Tpk=antec+twelve+hundred

Thermaltake Armor : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133021

and Thermaltake armor+: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133062

Any thoughts on what one is better for looks/performance?

personally i have seen the regular Armor in real life, and its pretty slick

I couldnt go with the armor+ just because i like full towers better than mid-towers, so i would leave that one out

ummmm from there, they are pretty much the same cases, althought the 1200 has more drive bays. they both are about the same size, and idk... Totally up to you

If you are going for looks i like how the TT Armor looks, and if i were to pick from those 3, i would pick the TT Armor

Well, I forgot to put in that CoolerMaster case. What about the CM Stacker 832, is that better or worse than the Thermaltake Armor?

i'm currently using the little brother to the 1200 with the antec 900. Amazing case, very solid, easy to remove/install anything. but the 1200 is pretty large, a solid 3 inches or so taller than the 900.

can't say i've had the experience of using the thermaltakes so i dont know how they perform compared to the antec case, but i'm not too keen on the idea of having a smaller fan up top.

You may want to head over to MaximumPC.com and see if they reveiw any of those cases. They usually do a great job on their case write-ups...making sure to take the time to install a full setup into each case and see how it all goes. I haven't checked to see if the cases you're interested have been reviewed, but there's a good bet that they're up there.
