Hello guys.
After couple of years as a regular user of the site and reader on the forums I've finally decided to register so you folks can help me with a choice I have to make.
I'm a proud owner of an Antec P182. Unfortunately my toddler just managed to:
1) Break both USB ports in the front panel by hitting USB pens attached there.
2) Using his favorite car he managed to bump the side cover so hard that it just smashed in. I know, don't ask how please.
So, I've searched for a case and after reading a good amount of reviews and looking at a lot of cases I've became split between 3.
Fractal Design Arc Midi (for 72€)
Corsair Carbide Series 500R (for 91€)
Aerocool XPredator Evil Black Edition (for 92€)
All the three have things I like and dislike. eg.: I like the Fractal Design front aspect, but I don't like that it's fan controller is in the back. I like the fans included in the Carbide but I don't like the panel being front-faced. I like the space available in the Aerocool but I'm not completely in love with the colors and I'm afraid it might get louder and dustier than the other 2.
So.... I need your opinions.
Thanks in advance!
