Agreed. It's a very nice case, as long as you don't mind the large size and high price...

532 looks better IMO.

The Stacker 830 isn't left out.....its a very good case, but considering the price when you look at the other cases mentioned (Armor, Armor Jr, Sonata II)......it starts becoming a lot less attractive.

Some very good points have been brought up......don't get sucked into the marketing hype of SLI, its an expensive luxury....your money would be better spent on an upgraded CPU or better kit of memory.
