I am very soon to be running a Q6600 (Its on its way) and am upgrading my no-name case to something more efficient. I have had my eye on the Antec P182, due to its great reviews and simplistic styling. I was very close to changing my mind and ordering a Lian Li case.

1st of all, I considered the PC-7B PLUS II, but after reading a few review dubbing it poorly built and flimsy, I was put off.

I then considered the PC-AO5B, but was also put of a built quality. It seemed to be rated higher than the previous Lian Li model I checked out, but it still had its issues.

Another case I have considered is the Aerocool I-Curve. Its got lots of nice features and looks great. I was almost sold, but on the last page of a review, I was informed that larger GPUs would have issues fitting into the case, also some smaller cards might have problems depending on where its power lead was connected.

Please can any1 recommend a case with similar styling as the above mentioned cases, costing around £70 and pretty decent airflow. Thank You.
 
The P182 is a solid case. Its fairly user friendly and built to a high standard. The let down is the steel/plastic make up.

The PC7 Plus is a dream to work with, all alu and classy looks. The side pannels feel a little weak but thats not really a major issue.

It depends how much space you want really. The p182 is a reasonable chunk bigger and can accommodate a little bit more in the way of components.

Either are a good choice, just down to personal preference really. Id take the lian li myself.

(I have both a PC7 and a P180 here, and wrote the P182 review on the main page)
 
lol^ "Always" So you do sometimes?

I love the look (& price) of the PC-7B PLUS II/PC 7 PLUS but have found that more than a few people have complained of rattling/vibrations. This is the only issue at present putting me off ordering 1, now!

UPDATE: I have ordered a P182!!
