Had an Eclipse and P182 in recent times, both cases have impressed me for different reasons.
The Eclipse for its complete and utter ease of use in terms of cable tidying and building a system into it as every panel comes off the case, removable motherboard tray as well.
The P182 is the quietest case in standard form I have ever used, a lot harder to cable tidy properly, but once it's done its a really good piece of kit, the only other downside is the lower HDD cage can only take two drives if you don't have the bottom fan in otherwise you cook your HDD's.
Also had a Silverstone Sugo for travelling with, thats a terror to build in but a really nice finished system and mine had an 8800GT and overclocked core 2 in it, seriously powerful box for the size.
Currently using my Eclipse with Omega top and side panels ready for when I can be bothered to watercool it again.
I think a case can often be the most overlooked part of the system, behind the PSU, a decent case can really make the difference between a dream PC or a nightmare.
"I've heard there is a common problem with this item from forums" - If you read some forums they believe Elvis was abducted by aliens, doesn't mean it's true.
I just purchased a P182 and up to know I am pretty satisfied with my choice. The only thing I didn't like was the cable management as it took quite a long time for me to set up, as I wanted it perfect.
I still like my V1000, but think it is getting time to part with it, as it's not big enough anymore and has no sound damping.
Ive always bought ebuyer £20 cases but im gonna splash out on an antec 300 case next week.
Love my Antec 1200. And would happily by another one. Only major con is the weight. And maybe the complexity of the case (considering it was my very first build). Also the fan lights, can't turn them off. Somewhat annoying while watching films.
