The best case I've ever owned.
Pros: Solid construction, lots of space. It's black!!
Cons: Front door a bit flimsy. May be too heavy for some.
Review:
My new computer is housed in this magnificent cae. Antec truly outdid themselves with the Performance TX1050B. It's a good-looking, well-constructed case with lots of room to spare. The two LEDs for power and hard drives are a bright blue that can light up room; this may bother some people but I find it adds a bit of bling to an already impressive case.
The only drawbacks are the front door and the weight. The front door is a bit flimsy and may break off if abused. Some people even reported the doors broken off when they bought them online. I ordered mine from Newegg and it arrived in perfect condition. Weight is the second caveat: the case is heavy empty. Fill it up with drives and components and you won't even consider toting it to a LAN party. That aside anyone looking for a great PC case should put this on their short list. It's been discontinued but a search online yielded some resellers who still have units available.
