I dont see any point in full ATX - except for internally mounting a 3×120 radiator. But my PA120.3 can just as well sit freely outside the case, so, my Lian Li PC-A16B (TPU review) will suit my casing needs for years and years and years to come.

Ick.

Each to his own I guess. I can't stand those silly led lights, windows and toy-like appearances.

i choose full tower, because as a main rig you want somwething thats easy to work with... its probably not going anywhere as its not your lan rig... and you never have to worry about buying something as an upgrade that wont fit ;)

its also easier to hide the mass of wires in a full without serious cable management so cooling is always easy

Largon,i switched from a massive lian li pc201b to a silverstone tj09,which is slightly smaller.I have my PA120.3 on the top.The lian li was just a bit too large really.
