I've narrowed my short list of cases down to two from Chenbro and the Lian-Li V2000.
The Lian-Li V2000B is rather pricey...but it's still in the running. It's front filter is moot, as the entire case is one big invitation for dust to crawl in. I do like the layout of the case though...plus it's a looker!
The other two cases in question are:
Chenbro SR103B
and the
Chenbro SR107B
Each has it's pluses and minuses.
103 has 2 external 3.5" bays; I still use a floppy and card reader; 107 has only one external 3.5" bay.
107 has 2 front panel USB ports; 103 has none.
103 has a front filter, 107 has none...small niggle, but it's there
107 uses 120mm fans; much quieter than the 103's mix & match of 92mm & 80mm fans.
Any of these cases will more than fit my needs; Dual-Opteron motherboard, 3 HDs, 2 or 3 Optical drives.
Please at least vote in the poll; it would be great if you posted your comments as well. Thanks very much.
