Not really, you get what you pay for and it can be re-used for a long time.

(Actually, in $US you are probably right. MY P182 cost $AU 215 for comparison).

So did you decide on anything yet? I still think that HAF would be my choice. It's just so eye catchy for me.  Although I'm considering the Stacker 810 as well for $20 less. I think its still a toss up between these for me:

HAF

Stacker 810 <-$130

NZXT Whisper <-$109 with rebate

Thermaltake Armor 8000

I don't know man. I want something quiet and not too flashy. I might just say fuck it and get the P182.

Yeah, it's a mid tower, but I'm starting to wonder if I really need a full tower case. I do not plan on running SLI or Crossfire, and I'll only be using 1 HD. The extra room to work with may be nice, but I'll only be messing with it once a year or so.

no, unless you have a HTPC or something with a microATX mobo.  most motherboards are standard ATX nowadays.

Trust me. for a mid-tower the P182 if definitely a decent size... i plan on putting another 4870 in mine and ive cheaked and theres no problem with fitting... the only annoying thing about the case is how close the PSU cables come to the fan in the lower compartment.... but u can make it work well enough, just looks abit scary lol

In Soviet Iceland, spending less than $200 on a case is ridiculous, since that will only get you a cheap case with shitty build quality.

I paid $300 for my P182 18 months ago, and I don't regret it, two days pay tho .

Not really, modular PSU that I just route straight out into the back of the mobo tray. The SATA cables for the hard drives are the ones causing trouble

The fan has no "grill" around the intake side, therefore have to be careful not to get it into the fan.

You don't need the bottom fan in the P182... All you need is exhaust and, if you want, intake.
