think i might get the antec 1200 is a very good case at a reasonable price although i think the 5970 makes one of the hard drive cages unusable

im going to go with the antec 1200 prefer the black interior and the Haf 932 dont have any filters at all so it would get a lot of dust building up inside i'll be ordering the antec this week or next and i'll try to get a Noctua NH-D14 as well
