PLase help me decide what case to buy
 
Hi
I am building a PC for my friend
and i am stuck with these two choices
I like the AMS case bt the Antec is more convenient

I am gonna hook up a Black Ice Pro 120mm rad on the 120mm exhaust fan and
I need to install a Eheim 1250
I have a round reservoir from Danger den bt most likely I will be getting the Bay res

Please advice what case you think is better and why??
AMS case

Antec

Antec

antec looks a better bet, since it has 120mm front fan against ams's 80mm

Thats an antec P160. Nice. Didn't realize they have one with a window on it. I haven't windowed mine yet.

Its a very ncie case.

The front 120mm is blocked by the HDD racks so if you plan on using it to H2O then think again.

There is a solid 2" of free space above the PSU. Runs about 12" long (until it hits the 5.25 supports. Its pretty smooth. The gap in the front is for the temp display / front panel stuff so its truly open and free space. Good for modding.

The rear 120mm is very tight. If you have a stock HSF on the cpu (you'd better not if you read this forum!) then there is some air flow issues. The top of the HSF is within the cone of the 120mm. WC with a low profile block is cool. If you use the rear fan for an internal radiator and fan in push mode (also internal) then it would be very tight. You'd have some serious issues getting the 1/2" tubing to work.

But it is a nice looking case and feels very solid but is still fairly light weight.

I have the ams case, and I'm using a BIX on the back 120mm fan. It works great.

Best case I've ever owned.
