So I was thinking of getting a new computer case. I want to get a good one that will serve as a foundation as I upgrade it over time. Which of these do you think would be the better choice?
Cooler Master Cosmos
Antec Nine-Hundred
I think the antec is cheaper, but the cosmos may be more of a luxury case instead of the antec which is a gaming case (correct me if I'm wrong)
I currently have a HP pavilion a1520n, with a new video card. I want to transfer all of its components into the new case, but have no idea if they're compatible.
This is just a side-note and maybe a little bit lazy of me, but now I currently have a mission desk set from staples.
Would a Staple's mission mobile storage unit fit any of these cases?
For one the mission desk sets are like letter trays and waste baskets not something that goes inside a pc case. Your thinking about a totally different kind of case like traveling or desk organizing case there.
The Antec 900 is one of the most flexible mid tower cases for setting up different 3 1/2" and 5 1/4" combinations of drives. The full information on that case as well as a short video clip on how drive bays can be swapped around go to http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=15900
For those planning on multiple water cooling setups they tend to shy away from the 900 to go often with even a full tower case to have room for the reservoirs. The 900 offers the maximum for air cooling with the twin 120mm front intake fans, rear 120, and especially the 200mm top fan. The front fans are seen on two slide out 3drive cages and provide cooling for multiple hard drives.

On the mission mobile storage unit I am talking about this product:
http://www.staples.com/webapp/wcs/st...&cmArea=SEARCH
The product info states that it is meant to fit a CPU. I currently have my tower on one on the desks which I have in an L shaped configuration and it would save a lot of room if
I had it underneath in one of these.
I could always put a tower underneath the desk on the carpet if the tower is too big, but it would be nice to be in this storage unit.

Antec nine hundred for air cooling, it's great at that.

Personally I like the Cosmos better, its like a P180 but fancier. They're both really good at air cooling, but the 900 is a lot cheaper.

What it comes down most often is price and preference as long as you see adequate cooling. The 900 can be a little cramped at times for some especially those that oc heavily and want the extra space for cooling setups.
I will say that the 900 is quietier now then the last case used for the old 939 build. But that came out after the AeroCool AeroEngine II for twice as much for the longest time until someone pointed out a good sale this summer.
The Antec P180 is seen here. http://www.antec.com/productImage.ph...800&SetZone=en with the product page at http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=81800#

Hi. Does anyone have any idea how does the antec 900 advanced 3 speed fan control works?
Are there any switches at any hidden part of the casing?
