my ideal case - please help

I like the HAF 912 plus, but I prefer a windowed version like that of the HAF 912 Asian version. Would also like to be able to mount a 120/140mm fan at the bottom where the 2.5 drive caddy is. Is there a case similar to what I want? Cheers

a pc case is a very personal thing.

all depend's on what you want your case to look like...ie,clean smooth lines,brash looks like the haf x.

Just came across the Thermaltake Chaser MK-1, which to me looks better and it has everything I am looking for than any of the HAF towers. So I just ordered one for Tuesday delivery.

Got it now.

I have packed the Chaser MK1 and it's going back to the seller.

The search for my ideal case continues.......

What was up with the Chaser to send it back?

I would take a look at the corsair cases m8.

Though I loved how it looked, my graphics card was 7-10 degrees warmer even with a 200mm fan on the side (don't really know why). It was also made of a lot of plastic which I think will not last with me.
The side panels felt thinner and weaker compared to my CM Storm Enforcer.

Post links to a few cases in the OCUK shop that you like the look of, and then the experts here might be able to pick the best in terms of cooling, features etc?

On the CM storm Enforcer, at idle it runs at +8 on top of room temp, while on the Chaser MK-1 it's +15 or more on top of room temp...
