As with most cases, its more to personal preference. Once you get to this level the performance differences are going to be so small, I wouldn't solely base my decision on that.

I would go for the stacker, because im a sucker for that case (and im a fan of CM).
Ideally you need to see both 'in the flesh' to make a decision - you'll be looking at it for a while

Truth be told, you wont go wrong with either. Which one do you like the look of most?

hehe ( hey up im a fan of CM as well )

as for the P190 it cost little over dont u think ?

of course stacker 832 ! love 4 fans on the side

[mightymouse]

true its up to personal preference but i still think that a CM 832 rocks!! I went to check out the antec case but I dont find them appealing

[chaotic_russ]

i think the CM Stacker looks better

On the aesthetics, I'd go for the Antec. That Stacker just looks like a transformer, while the 190 with it's clean, simple looks will hold its value for longer.

For that sort of money though, I'd be buying a Silverstone TJ09B or a Lian-Li A10B over both of those.

Side note... I wouldn't rely too much on the 3DGameMan opinions. It's nice to see video reviews, but when the difference between a "kickass" case and an average one is a removable motherboard tray, you know you're watching the very bottom of the reviewing ladder. I've also never seen him giving a bad review. Ever. I'm sure they'll exist, but I'm yet to see one.

Get the P182 and your own PSU rather than the P190.

[Blitzen]

Stacker is way better looking than the Antec.

[crazy]

between the two, I would go for the Stacker, looks better

[aidanjt]

P190 is a little more practical though, cable routing and such.

[prits_88]

i'd say the antec 900...

[Trash Man]

Already have a stacker and I can't see me using any other case for a long, long time. Such an awesome case.

i agree, the stacker looks more kiddy to me

But the 832 has a removable motherboard tray, very handy.

Personally, I like 'em both! Just bought an 830 Evo off Scan and I was considering a P182 for my other system, I've got one on loan to evaluate, can let you know what I think of both.
