I've done a couple builds with BitFenix cases 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 ($40ish, but no USB 3) and the Shinobi Window ($70ish)

Edit: oh, just saw on the hot deals board that Canada Computers has the Merc Alpha for $30. That's a pretty rad deal.

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.

Thanks :)
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.
I've discovered the Add to Ignore List feature and now my RFD Forums experience is immeasurably better.
