The thermaltake case is a little expensive, and I like the guages on the apevia, but is the TT alot better in terms of quality?

I think you'll be very happy with that case. It's a much better case than the Aspire/Apevia offerings and a good value when compared with many high-end cases. Don't forget to take some pix to show off your new stuff! Good luck!

I agree. I love my Kandalf LCS, which is the same case with a different front door. Plenty of room, if that's what you're looking for. Thing is HUGE though, so be prepared.
