Well, I am running #3 and it is cool looking, but there are some serious design flaws. First off, the holes to screw in your motherboard are not raised up like on most cases. This makes the motherboard touch the metal case and it causes shorts and your computer will die because of it. I actually electric taped the entire piece that it is attatched to and that fixed it.

Second, the way the fans are to be setuo in the front leaves you no way to actually install one without removing all of your hard drives and other equipment in front.

I like number 1 though!

Just so you know, PowMax has a really bad reputation when it comes to power supplies. Avoid at all costs seems to be the general recommendation.

The number 3 link doesn't work anymore. Not to be the oddball, but I like #2.

I have that case too. Mine came with some screw extensions to raise the mobo off the back-board. Did you not receive these then ?
