Can't Decide Between the Antec 900 or TJ09..

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   Hey guys!

As of right now im having trouble deciding between purchasing an Antec 900 or the TJ09 to house my system..

From a looks perspective, I like both of these case very much and find them to be pleasing to the eye, and considering the fact that I like LOTS of lights on my machine both of them rank high in my book (Antec having those 2 blue fans on the front, and the TJ09 looking absolutely AMAZING with the cold cathode tubes and the side panel)

But I just can't seem to get over the fact that I could save 155$ if I went with the Antec 900 over the TJ09..
Is the TJ09 really a very "premium" case?

So my question is should I just bite my tongue and go with the TJ09? Or is the Antec 900 right for me?

I don't know if it matters but this is the build that will be going into either of the cases:

	I say TJ09 either choose to boos your ram so you get the fan or call then and I think they will give you the fan for a better price without OCing your ram Edited by DST4ME - 30 Aug 2008 at 8:22pm

	I would say so. Take a look at the 2 on newegg. One is $99(900), the other is $249(tj09). Load them both up in a browser and compare. You will see the difference.
