I really like NZXT cases. But, at last I picked the P400A.
Edit: I bought mine from Canada Computers this afternoon, make sure the part # is PH-EC400ATG_DWT01. Also the box is very confuse.( Is showing P400 and the picture is not right, I did opened @ the store and make sure is P400A. At first, the staff really don't want to open, I have to explained to him that you guys don't have a very good return policy! )

Only the white one comes with 3 RGB fans, right? I'm seeing only 2 non-RGB for the black one
Edit: says Part #: PH-EC400ATG_DBK01 at the top right of the page, so not RGB?

So many cases these days don't have 5.25" bays anymore. Instead the front of the case is all fans for airflow. Guess fewer people use bluray drives or 5
25" media card readers these days?

I think they are phasing them out or expecting people to pick up these drives with USB connection for portability... just my 2 cents

Ya 5.25 drives are being phased out, people are using flash drives and storage rather than burning a single movie on a disc. If you need a burner you can always buy an external for $30.

get a usb disc drive, card reader and stack them on your desk. my dad loves his even better than built into the case bc it's more convenient. if no space, industrial velcro to wall works too.

Check out the CoolerMaster NR400 / NR600 if you want a case with both 5.25" bay and good airflow.
I have a non LED NZXT H510 and I love it, would’ve been nice to have some backlighting but it’s a lot cheaper. Great case if people are looking at it, basically 15$ over Amazon’s price if you want the backlight
Currently have an Antec 300 case from long ago. Do these newer cases offer any improvements over the that? Primarily concerned about having good airflow.

This is typical Phanteks behavior. Seems like if the new version of the case has the same dimensions as the old version and they still sell both versions, they'll just use the same box. About 4-5 years ago, I bought the Phanteks Evolv with the tempered glass, but the box was the non-tempered glass version. However, when Evolv X came out, they needed to make a new box as the Evolv X is taller, longer and wider.

I know...I am trying to find a case with floppy drive and I can't.
What's the best deal out there for an ATX enclosure with 10+ 3.5 bays?
Antec P101 can fit 8x for $140 but feels hard to justify when you can fit 6x 3.5" in a $30 Deepcool case.
Any ideas?
