I was thinking about replacing my Cooler Master CM690 II Adv. case with an Antec P280. I only have 2 reasons for wanting to replace my case.

First reason is that one of the screw holes for power supply on the case is not aligned with one of the screw holes in my power supply which is a Cooler Master Silent Pro 800w, so I can only use 3 screws to screw the power supply to the case unless I use downward pressure on one side of the power supply then it will line up with that screw hole but then it looks lifted up a bit from the other side. Also there seems to be excess metal stick up where it is rivetted on the case under were the power supply goes and scratches the paint of my power supply and I think that's the reason why my power supply won't line up with all screw holes in my case but I didn't have any trouble lining up my old power supply (Corsair TX850) with all screw holes aligned with this case but it still scratched off the paint from the bottom of my old power supply as well.

Another reason I want a new case is because once the front panel collects alot of dust, it looks dusty from the front, which ruins the look of the case.

If the screw holes align with a Corsair PSU, its probably the CM Silent Pro's at fault. A dusty front could mean that you should clean it more often. My Corsair 400R only collects dust in the front fans filter. It doesn't happen to the sponge padded 5.25" bay covers, probably attributed by the positive pressure arrangement. Yes, I've seen dust accumulation at the front of a Corsair 600T, its an ugly sight.

reason #1 = ez fix. use portable drill.

reason #2 = just buy the case you want already. beauty in the eye of the beholder is priceless.

If you want the case, buy it.

Is it worth it? I'm some ways.

I'd personally go with a fractal design r4
