Delock -- Nick (roomate) just bought the Antec 900 and he LOVES it.. I would be buying the same unit (84.99 at Microcenter) but because I have no reason other than the case is awesome I would end up with a dead Antec P180 and I dont see a reason to get it.
The 902 was made because the 900 cannot handle a extended length power supply, which the 902 can handle. I really like the looks of the 900 and I recommend either one. Its the case I think right now is the Bomb !!!! Its NICE.
What system are you looking to build ?
I just bought my components and I am going to be doing my upgrade this weekend
Asus P5Q-Deluxe
4G Ram
* Intel E8400 Dual Core
Pioneer DVD writer/reader
Corsair TX 650W power supply
* Evga 260 GTX (not sure if I am going to go with the std or the overclocked version of the card)
* denotes I need to go pick it up tomorrow from Microcenter.
I already have HDD's and will not be buying new
This will be a high end gaming machine without video editing capabilities (I dont know if that is something you are looking at.. but since I know I am not going to be doing video editing this is enough for me )

Gotticgs -- Delock was looking for non-server style tower... I am thinking the 1200 was not choosen because he didnt want a case that tall. The 900 series is about 4-5 inches shorter in height in comparison.
Delock I am thinking either the 900 or the 902 would do you fine.. Go look at the 900 at Microcenter.. (they are only 84.99) so in case you want to save the money and dont mind not being able to install a extended length powersupply, you might find that case to be exactly what you need.
I will be going there myself either today or tomorrow to pick up the remaining few things I need for my PC to be ready !!!! I cannot wait to get out of my 6yr old PC.

Difference is the extended power supply issue I told you about and there is just a small cosmetic difference on the top.

I am thinking about hitting the place around 8pm tonight
All I have to do is drive home.. Have dinner, and then head over there. I should be home around 6pm tonight, so around 8-8:15pm I will be at Microcenter.. You wanna meet up there ? I will make sure then I will be there at an exact time so you dont have to wait.

I dont know that is up to Derek.. he would be the one who had to lend the space for it.. now granted unless his windows XP is messed up to back and hell, I can have everything ported the new hardware in less than 2.5 hours and no information loss off his old drives as I would just upgrade in place without destroying data.... (this is what I am going to do because I dont want to reinstall my whole OS, update it etc.. when things works well and I have no need for anything else :)
