Conflict
May 5th, 2007, 01:54 PM
I am in a bit of a "stuck in the middle" situation with computer cases. I am having trouble deciding on either the simple yet sleek design computer case or a "show" case. The two cases on which i am deciding on are:
Antec P180B Case
vs.
XG Dragon Case
Give me your opinions on these case or your opinon in where you stand in the battle between sleek vs show, thanks

The P180B is 10 times the case. Not only is it far more useful, but I think it looks way better than that ricey Dragon crap.

I have the p180b. it has changed my life.
(I do kind of wish they had exposed the power button though)

(I do kind of wish they had exposed the power button though)I assume you might already know this, but most BIOS have an option to start the computer with keyboard input. I've had my desktops for the last few years start with a keyboard combo rather than the power button.
...and P182 is the new version of the P180 and the SE version has the mirrored panels. Very slick as long as you don't touch it.

Again, if you are looking for a show case, the mirrored one is the one you want. I'm sure it's a nightmare to keep clean, though.

Only with PS/2, AFAIK. Those of us with USB keyboards are SOL.

exactly. Although I am not a fan of a P180, anything is better than the other choice.
