If you like the Antec 1200, but it's too expensive... go for the 900. I love my case!

I agree, sniper looks nicer, although I personally prefer the CoolerMaster on the first page.

Just jumped into this thread, might've missed something. :D

I know what you mean, the skeleton is perfect for that.

I nearly went for this a couple of years ago because it looked a bit more special.

Which can be turned off? What do you mean? The LEDs or the fans?

Why the hell would you turn off the fans? Wanna fry your hardware? :?
Anyway, on antec 1200 you can set the 3 exhaust fans to 3 speed levels. The 3 front intake fans have a stepless speed regulator each. The LEDs of the 20cm top exhaust fan can be switched off.

No case can beat Antec 900 / 1200 when it comes to cooling.
So i recommend one of those, especially 1200..

If you want silent cooling then a massive low RPM fan or water is the only practical way without risking hardware damage. Speedfan will let you slow the fans down or stop them as the CPU usage drops, and it will fire them up as it increases, but I still wouldn't trust it overnight.

This would be ideal in this case (get it? Case? Oh I'm wasted on you lot :confused: )

I've seen those cases in the flesh and I have got to say they are the ugliest things on the face of the earth.
