I wonder if Antec 182 and Antec 900 are comparable! I have mostly seen on technical stuff on internet that the former is recommended. Is there any problem known about Antec 900?
This is bcoz I am looking to modify my case and considering these to among others to decide the 1 for me.
One problem I know about Antec 900 is that placing a PSU for it is somewhat a difficult task as it is located at some separate point. Due to this, it also requires long cables for connections.Quote:

The vibrations are also reduced.
The idle temperature for Antec 182 for HDD is normally more than Antec 900.
The CPU temperature for both the cases are however identical.
Antec 900 are said to be specially for gaming and so are normally bigger in size i believe. The drawback with Antec 182 is that they do not have side intake fans. It is to consider how will they deal with GPUs producing high heat. Its somewhat like one would need to remove the HDD cage for fitting in the full length GPUs.
