I like openin my door to turn it on! looks much cleaner without buttons and drives showing IMO...does get annoying when installing 5-disc games though. Case 1 is a lil better than case 2, neither are "flashy" enough for me though.
oh, yeah, I did some browsing. Case 1 does have a big clear door. I still like the way it looks, but there goes my main argument about easy access to optical drives.
