I'm using this case and enjoy it. Great cooling/airflow and great portability when you're moving it around.

I've been eying this case for long time - does the handle on top really work ok to carry it around ?
Thanks :)

I just got this case as well. I was able to PM for $51.99, but it appears to have gone back up a bit in price from when I did the PM. It's $54.99 now at Computer Valley (http://www.computervalley.ca/threehundredtwo/three-hundred-two-case?siteID=8BacdVP0GFs-U_qWiXKPm9m4m0Ux.scvMg).

I've done a couple builds with BitFenix cases (http://ncix.com/search/?Manufacturer=BitFenix) and I'm pretty impressed by their build quality and features given how much they cost. They're thoughtfully laid out and look nice (the Shinobi, especially).

The ones I've used are the Merc Beta (http://ncix.com/products/?sku=63257&vpn=BFC-MRC-100-KKX2-RP&manufacture=BitFenix&promoid=1360) ($40ish, but no USB 3) and the Shinobi Window (http://ncix.com/products/?sku=60585&vpn=BFC-SNB-150-KKW1-RP&manufacture=BitFenix&promoid=1360) ($70ish)

Edit: oh, just saw on the hot deals board that Canada Computers has the Merc Alpha for $30 (http://forums.redflagdeals.com/canada-computers-bitfenix-merc-alpha-black-mid-atx-29-99-a-1190268/). That's a pretty rad deal.

CanadaComputers has a version of the Antec 300 two that is painted all black on the inside and comes with two extra front LED fans all for $60: http://canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_112&item_id=045469

How about the ANtec Nine on sale @ New egg for $79 after disc code, how does it compare with the Bitfenix cases?

Last I checked, your computer case has nothing to do with gaming.

+1 can vouch for this as well. Saw this case and decided to pick it up from CC at the same price.

Yep! Works great.

I'd hesitate to go back to a case that doesn't have a handle like that. I don't even move the computer around much but when I do, it makes it much easier. I can turn door knobs and open car doors if I do have to take it anywhere.

Excellent - Thank you so much for taking time to reply to my question - much appreciated :)

Cheers.

Just an update, the Antec 1100 case is pretty good. Lots of room and excellent cable management holes, etc. Definitely worth it. One thing its BIG, so make sure you have space for it heh.

[HandsomeRob]

Antec Sonata->Nine Hundred->Three Hundred->Three Hundred Two for me.

Only the Sonata isn't still around. Don't see any reason to move away, extremely satisfied with Antec.
