Has anyone used the Antec TX640B case?



Still on the lookout for a decent case for the new system I intend to build.
After having rejected the Antec SLK1650B as it only has a 350W PSU, which I
am told will probably be too weak for the system I will have, I have found
another Antec case that may meet the requirement - and has a 400W PSU.

Has anyone used this case and can either recommend or provide warnings
against it?

I have read a review on the web that seems to think that it is ok. The only
real gripe seemed to be that it was a bit cramped inside.

As I will most likely have 3 HDDs, which will fit in the drive bay of this
case, is this likely to cause temperature problems if I do not use the 80mm
fan that goes in front of the drive bay for extra cooling. The reason I ask
is that the review stated that with the fan in place, the drives were too
close to the graphics card.

Thanks for any help or advice you can give.

Martin
