Computer Cases

[2005]

I'm thinking about replacing my antec P-180...


It's been a great case, but its really too big for my needs.
I am considering going with a mid tower case, but I do need to be careful
as I am going to be purchasing that Hyper 212 Plus finally and it needs to fit.

Also, I put in an oversized power supply. It was bigger then ATX and I didn't
want to wait / deal with the hassle of trying to return or sell it SOO I ripped the
metal cage out of the P180 and put it in there anyway. It's 850W and way way
more then what I need and since I now pay the electric bill I am a little more
conscious of how much is getting used.

Any recommendations in the mid tower market? I looked at PB's SilverStone and while
it looks like a great case I'm just tired of having a monster case to deal with even as nice
as it does make it when working on it / cleaning it.

The Fractal Design Arc Midi comes to mind.

I don't think it'll fit a nonstandard larger PSU though.

You're only going to be able to shave off a couple inches at most if you need to accommodate a full ATX board. Even the P180 doesn't have all that much extra space making up its height than the PSU and ATX mobo.
