I finally got the Antec Plus 880 case all put together, and I am impressed.
Likes:
1. High quality, sturdy construction
2. No sharp edges
3. Easy to use and assemble
4. Plenty of room & plenty of cable
5. Runs fairly quiet, despite a total of 8 fans (2 front, 2 rear, 2 power supply, 1 CPU, 1 AGP)
6. Runs cooler than the Fung Fooey case (5C to 6C on average)
7. 2 front USB ports, and 1 firewire
8. Side panel is very simple to remove and reinstall
Dislikes:
1. I only have one

I'm in the process of building another computer, so I ordered an Antec Plus 880 (http://direct.mwave.com/mwave/doc2/A14284.html") case from NewEgg.com (http://www.newegg.com") for $121 + $15 S/H.
The case is large, 8 drive bays, comes with Antec's TruePower 430 watt power supply, and comes standard with 2 rear fans, and the option to install 2 in the front, and one more in the the panel. All fans are temperature controlled by the power supply. The case also has two front USB ports and a firewire port, and the side panel has a lockable, quick release latch that actually works. I know, as I spent some time playing with it at CompUSA.

I'll poast more once I receive the case and put the system together.
