I need everyone's help, im looking for a case for the system im building.

I was looking at the Antec Lanboy or the Enermax CS-3051L, what is everyone's opinion on these cases.

Thank You.

I bought the Enermax CSX305ILB case today for my dad and its a damn nice case with lots of goodies for a low price.
It has room for 5 casefans including 1 120mm fan in the front (or you can mount a 80mm instead) 1 top fan, 2 rear fans and 1 side 80mm fan. It comes with a nice 350w atx psu, doesn't have a 2nd 92mm fan on the bottom though but no biggie with all the fans you can put on.
I threw in a sound activated cold cathode light and its really nice. Only down side that I can see with the case is that the metal the case is made out of isn't the greatest, its kinda flimsy but does the job and its hard to find a bezel to match the front of the case. other than that its a great case best bang for your buck.
I think the antec case is better quality build than the enermax but I like the way the enermax case looks over the antec lanboy (I'm bias because I just bought the enermax)

I'd prefer the enermax over the antec for one reason: NO DOOR! Seriously consider how you'll feel opening and closing the door whenever you want to burn a cd, watch a movie or load a game. It's more of a hassle than I'm willing to deal with.

one word Lazy...

are you buying w/o a PSU? cause they are both nice cases but Antec PSU's are better IMHO

and a door makes for clean lines how often do you need to open a tray when you are gaming for 2 hours? J/K

You say he's lazy... but you prefer to buy a case with a door instead of stealthing the drives yourself.

Seems to be a steal for the price over at newegg. Only complaint would be the psu. Not sure of the make?
