Alright guys! i was pretty Set on having the Coolermaster HAF 932 Case because of the Size and i thought it didn't look too bad! but im not to sure on it now looking at peoples posts!

I want a a large case that i can use for future upgrades and room to move about in, which would you recommend that's not much more expen than the HAF @ £104.

but if there isn't anything that's as good near that price range ill have to settle on the HAF i think.

Thanks ;)
 
Alongside the HAF you have the antec 902, both quite similar in price/performance each with their own pros and cons, alternatively if youre willing to stretch a little then look at the silverstone fortress
 
Like you I looked for case for a while and got sick of watching case video reviews (although they were helpful).

In the end I ended up going for the Silverstone fortress because:

1. It was big enough for upgrades
2. Fitted my Noctua heatsink
3. Allowed for long Graphic cards
4. Looked great
5. Had positive air pressure (it does work)
6. Had a good build quality
7. Had good cable management
8. Had good drive bays
9. Received great feedback from all owners.

Check out the silverstone fortress thread here that helped me make my mind up.

Hope this helps.

The downside is it's pricey but it was either that or a £230 plus lian li case.
 
I got the Haf last week and i think its great....looks better than the pics imho.....and has lots of room.....cable management is excellent as well....had a Kandalf lcs before this and couldnt be more pleased
 
Ive said this lots, but I'll say it again :p The case looks good at first, great internal layout and great cable management etc... then you just look at the front and its an ugly beast!!

like 95thrifles said, the Antec 902 is a great alternative in the price range. Or personally, I like the Lian-Li PC-7FW. Similar price but I just love the look of it :D
 
ye man, been looking at video reviews of it and i think ive made my mind up now! just gotta get more monies!

does anyone know if you can buy a Window side panel for it ? or maybe i could mod it myself somehow ?

Thanks :)
 
Haha, so much for your budget then :p Does look a great case though.

Not sure if you can buy a side panel for it, but will be easy enough to cut one in yourself/get a workshop to do it for you

haha i know, but i dont want to get a case that im not 100% sure on, might aswell spend a bit more and do it right!

yea i really would like to cut out a large square of the side panel and fix some clear plastic to it, ill have to have a search how people have done it on here if anyone has.
