Antec P193 V3, really not a very cost effective purchase. Still need to replace my fog lights...

Not bad looking. Dare I ask the price?

I actually got a good deal it seems. £56 though eBay (new, from a real brick and mortar store (currys_pcworld). Antec says the rrp is $220, I saw it on a few other UK stores for £130.

£56, more detail in reply to baconsandwich.
My hard drive failed in my main PC, this was a hard drive that I salvaged out of my old laptop. So it was going to happen eventually.
Using this excuse to do a massive overhaul on my PC, new hard drive, more ram, psu, cpu cooler also coming soon.

nice, be sure to show it off once assembled!
my case retailed for 300something but I found it in clearance for $120.
After going from midsize to a full-size case, unless I build a htpc, im never going back!

I made the mistake of building a HTPC with an Intel D410 as the base, good price but useless. The case was another Antec though, by far the best thing about the system.
The case will probably be the best thing about the PC i'm overhauling. It's only got a Phenom II X6 1045T, will have 16GB PC-12800 after this upgrade. The GPU will still be lacking, HD5450... I get by with my laptop (A10-4600M w/ dual graphics) for the occasional gaming I do.
Incase you havn't noticed, i'm an AMD fanboy, guess it works with my diesel fanboy nature.

I've built two Antec cases in the last two years, first my own PC, then my work machine last year. They're really well made.

Have always gone with Antec cases for my rigs. Usually has the best value/features combination.
I have the Antec 300 currently:
