Case Decision - Praetorian vs Lanboy

[TRoJ]

I am interested in comments about whether to go 120mm over 80mm fans. I
have read lots of case reviews, but there's nothing like the voice of the
vulgar hordes to pursuade

My candidates for a case come down to a Coolermaster Praetorian or an Antec
Super Lanboy.

I like the 120mm fans of the Antec, but there are only 2.
The Praetorian has 4 fans, but all 80mm.

Lian-li is out of budget.

What's going inside it, I hear you ask?
Athlon 64 3500, Asus A8N-SLI, SATA 200GB, Albatron 6600GT, & 480W Neopower
PSU.

Cheers for your 2c.

have you looked at the kingwin kt424? it's a much nicer aluminum case than
the more expensive lian li i had before.

if noise is at all a concern less fans is better and 120mm has the potential
to be quieter than 80mm though there are a lot more 80mm fans to choose
from. replacing the case fans with 80mm panaflos L1As or 80 or 120mm nexus
real silent case fans would be best.

if dust is a concern you want to bring in slightly more air through filtered
fans than is exhausted through fans (including the PSU fan).
