I'm thinking about buying an Antec 1200, but the LED's are sort of a con for me. From the manual, it looks like you can disable the fan LED's by not plugging in the power light leads to the motherboard? Is this correct? Does it disable all the LED's?

Also, how loud are the fans, there are so many of them included, and 120mm I'm wondering if they run on very low speed?

Thanks, any other opinions on the 1200 are welcome.

I don't think that's exactly how it goes. As long there's power on fans there's 3 leds on each except the 200mm. About loudness well kinda hard to explain depends a lot about taste on minimal it's so damn quiet I can't even hear it still it keeps pretty good case temps. Anything above minimal is in words 'loud', but well that also depends as you could keep 200mm on top speed and rest as lowest and it still would be quiet.

Oh yeah, now that I'm re-reading the manual I see there are no power light leads for the motherboard.

Is there any case without LED's that would be large enough to either crossfire 4870's, or fit a 5870. The shorter the better too...

Wow, actually, the P183 looks like it would be great:


Fits 2x4870's and also, if I wanted to go to the 5870, I could just pull that top cage it looks like?
