Temps in my Lian Li PC-A71F are pretty superb, and the airflow is great. Two front 140mm fans and two rear 120mm fans. You could get the optional top and side panels for another four 120mm fans, but I really don't see the need.
£££ though.

Prices? I love lian li cases! They look the best cases imo!
Well if you want to shift a lot of air then it's has to be the Haf-932.
I would pick it over the Antec's for several reasons.The size of the case means it's easy cable management and will fit the new GPU's easy.Plus the fans are reasonably quiet were the antecs get noisy on med/high settings.
Hope this helps

think this has made my mind up!!! was looking at the 922 though! Is the only difference the side fan?
+1
Hi
The 922 fans are 200mm the 932's are 230mm but it looks a nice case.
The other thing is the 932 is (W)230 x (H)545 x (D)575 mm
And the 922 is (W)253 x (H) 502 x (D)563 mm if your not going to run 5970's you should be fine with the 922 plus you could a couple of 120mm to the side panel for more air

I just bought one of these to replace my Antec 900.

The cooling as standard is 3 200mm (intake, roof, side-panel) + 1 120mm (exhaust) + 1 optional floor 140/120mm fan , so if you are looking for coolling performance you wouldn't be disappointed. Plus there is a built in fan controller (for up to 5 fans). All intake fans are filtered.
My observations are that it isn't as "gamey" as the name or photos imply (much less so than the HAFs IMHO). The LEDs can be turned off by a switch integrated in the fan controller. With the fans turned down it is quiet. It is larger than it looks. There's scads of space to put whatever you like in it. My 5870 fitted in absolutely no problems. Build quality is very good as far as I can tell.
Not going to be a fanboy about it but I'm more than happy to recommend it.
