Hmmm, now if it could fit a 360mm rad in the top I might be swayed from the 600T I am readying myself to purchase....

It looks remarkably meh.. I'd be more inclined to buy the CM Silencio 550 at half the price.

Silencio has a LOT less airflow. I'd be interested in a quiet case shootout though; say those two and a Fractal R3 ?

But still plenty to keep the average stock clocked machine within specified tolerances.

Me too.

Looks like a moderate upgrade from the p180. I'll wait on the full review.

Not much chance of me buying a case in the near future though

Personally I call £60-120 fairly mid range for a case, <£60 budget... High end would be something like a Silverstone FT02, or an upper range Lian-Li etc

It's a pretty standard case with loads of fans, might be good though, but I wouldn't label it high end.

What does everyone think of the Zalman Z9 Plus ? Costs around £40

I don't think the Silencio is even in the same league really, its a lot smaller and as mentioned, it doesn't have enough airflow to be considered by the enthusiast market. I would also be interested in seeing a review of the so called 'silent' cases; Fractal, the NZXT Hush, the Coolermaster Silencio and this.

I think it looks like a pretty darned good value case, given the usual Antec build quality standards. You tend to get much higher end build quality for a much lower price. I suspect this will be put together better than the likes of Corsair, which whilst good, are generally overpriced IMO.

Little bit disappointed i got my 650D now, wish i had waited it out!
