do u think its better than the thermaltake im taking a liking to the thermaltake

that was my second choice, and the only reason I bought the Antec was the thermaltake was too big for my desk. If you have the extra 50-60 bucks get the thermaltake with the big fan on the side. However, before you decide the 200mm fan on top of the Antec case is a BIG PLUS. What does heat do? It rises, well with the 200mm fan on top with NO PSU in the way because its on the bottom all the heat disapates quickly and your componets are always very cool. Plus IMO, the Antec fans are very quite (they're adjustable HI MED LO).

if i can put a side fan on the antec case ill go with that bc i like the top 200 mm fan and the front 2x120 mm fans are about equal to the one 250mm front fan on the xclio. the only thing i would loose is the direct air onto the mobo which i like allot. is there a way i could put more than a 120 mm fan on the side of the antec case?

Yes have one on mine fans are not that noisy on low no on bigger than 120 mm
