This is a little bit weird question but well...
I have Antec P182 case and I like it, but I've had it for a few years and I really feel like I could go with some fresh looks and few differences.
The case is good. I like how solid it is (friggin' weights a lot too ;P), and I don't have to use too many screws either.
There are a few things I am not that happy with though, and based on that I would like to hear some recommendations:
1) bottom-mounted PSU:
While this is not a priority, I would like to have the standard top-mounted case. Somehow I think the airflow would be a little better if the blody thing was on top.
2) Top FAN:
I hate this. I constantly have to keep the grille covered with something cause after some experimenting with mounting a FAN there I realized it only makes things worse than better. I am doing much better with standard rear outtake.
3) Bloody blue LEDs:
Pure cosmetics, but I refuse to dig into this myself (and I have no knowledge about electronics anyway), and I simply love the classical green power and red HDD LEDs
4) too many drive bays:
Of course I knew I'd have plenty of those when I bought big case, but come on, I only wanted plenty of room for air I'd like a case which is not small, but simply has enough room for everything without being meant for RAID junkies.
5) The case doors:
Theoretically good idea, but I kicked this stupid thing off several times Something more sturdy and simplier would work better.
Is there anything that could (at least partially) satisfy my ridiculous needs out there, let's say in same category as Antec? I woul like to avoid stuff like Lian-Li as those are really ridiculously expensive.
