Really can't make my mind up antec 1200 or HAF 932 both will fit the new 5970 if i decide to get one in the future yes the HAF 932 fits with more room to spare than the antec.

i did think tho with the antec drive bays being hot swappable maybe this could be used to my advantage some way in being able to fit larger gpu's

what do u guys think case budget would be a max of about 140-150 inc delivery
 
Definitely HAF, more space (without any component conflicting with others) and even cheaper.
 
i have had both, and i say the HAF, it is better for everything, ideal for watercooling, can make use of the fillport at the top simply, just a job of an xspc bay res with the adaptor to turn the cap into a barb then screw any fillport to hole with the nuts provided. So neat!! Also lots of room, easy to mount triple rad on top, inside etc etc list goes on

only bad thing is the lack of dust filters.
GET SOME!! cant live without them. my noctua hsf isnt dusty, its fluffy!
 
HAF 932 vote here, admittingly not the best looking case (i have seen worse) but all other aspects are spot on, cooling, build quality, space for components/access, noise, and even the lighting is not intrusive.

Check some grouptests it does still seem to win (or come a very close 2nd) especially in the GFX cooling tests, not bad considering its been around a year or so now.

Antec for the simple reason that it has dust filters.

Unless I've missed something, the HAF doesn't have dust filters. A killer for me, as I'm sure like many, I've got my case (antec 1200) on the floor.
