I wanted to build a micro atx computer. I bought the antec mini 180 for the $80, but I really wanted a cube case. Before I was going to get the
APEVIA XQPACK, My computer was water cooling and I really wanted people to see it. Thats why I wanted the X QPACK because it had side panels and nice and compact. But the antec was really nice looking. I was going to make a side panel out of the antec. But iono i might buy the apevia. What do you think is a better case for the micro atx?

I have the Q-Pack and it is a beast. I highly recommend it for a mid-level gaming computer.  The two drawbacks:

1. You will have great difficulty fitting a standard size PSU in this case.  This case ships with a non-standard size PSU, and while you can jam a regular PSU in here, it will be a cramped fit, and you will likely lose one 5.25 drive bay. 

2.  I think that you will run into trouble fitting a water-cooling system into any mATX case, much less the Q-Pack.  If your WC system is serious, then get a serious case, like the Antec 900 or 1200 or whatever.

I love my Q-Pack, but it is definitely not for everyone.

I like the Antec, looks like a sweet well built case, and if you're planning to mod it for a window, I'd pick that no prob, for displaying. Stef is right though, either case you're prolly gonna have space issues with water.

If its no prob 4 U, then I'd posit the antec though. esepcially if you're getting it for $80!!! LOL

Penewah!
