Antec 902 or Nzxt Tempest EVO?

So getting ready to get my new case (long over due) and I've been looking at the two. Antec 902 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8... and the new Nzxt Tempest EVO http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8... . Both are the exact same price,

Tempest Pros

Has more fans then 902

I like the 2 140 fans rather than the big 200

Looks to be better cable management then the 902 just by pictures

The white fans to me look like a very nice touch

Tempest is also e-atx capable

Cons: New to the market, but then again its just an updated Tempest.

Antec 902 Pros

Its been out longer and ppl seem to like it

The regular 900 was very popular and still is to this day.

I've heard good things about its air flow

Cons

Seems a bit ugly to me

Over all looks personally to me the Tempest takes the cake, But I'm willing to over look all the looks on anything as long as it performs very well.

So guys my question being, Which one would you choose? What good have you heard and what bad have you heard about either one? Even with the EVO only being out for 12 days now has anyone heard anything about it, Or better yet does any have one? Thanks and god bless

    I am a big antec fan and have owned 3 antec cases, the 900, 1200 and skeleton, but even I must admit that tempest does look excellent. as far as I know the cable management on the 902 is the same as the 1200 which although it is better than the antec 900 still is not perfect as the space behind the motherboard and the side of the case is barley big enough for all the cables to go, the tempest looks like it has solved this problem due to its case side being shaped away from the mobo (sorry I couldn't think of any other way to describe it) the two 140mm fans do look good but in my experience there are not a lot of good quality 140mm fans around but they still should move a good amount of air.

    If I had this choice to make I would go with the tempest even though I am a bit of an antec fanboy, the overall build quality looks better than the antecs and the cable management looks really good, performance wise I think they should be almost identical as they are roughly the same design, but watch out for the fans on the tempest, if they are cheap 'generic' 120mm then they will not move as much air as the antec tri cool ones and they might be louder.

    I don't know of the nzxt case, or the 902. I have the 900 antec and it is quality built, fans have speed switches on them . You should choose the one you like in the end as you will have to look at it. The nzxt case has no reviews to compare also . The customer feedback is always a big help as you can read the pros and cons of loads of buyers.

    Whichever one you choose I hope all goes well for you . Good luck
