New Case/Fan recommendation

[wadded]

Hi All,

I'm looking for some help on a new case purchase.

I've just recently upgraded my Mobo/CPU/Mem, and now looking for improving Air Cooling than my current Case can offer for increasing OC'ing.

My key points are:

1. Full size for fitting GPU (Radeon 6970) and CPU Fan (Akasa Venom Voodoo CPU Cooler).
2. Fan Controller.
3. USB 3.0 front socket.

I've shortlisted the 3 below in the following order. tbh The Akasa is outright favourite currently. Only downside is lack of reviews on here, although other external sources review it well.

1. Akasa Venom Strike Full Tower Gaming Case
2. Corsair Graphite 600TM Midi Tower Mesh Windowed Case
3. Coolermaster HAF 932 Advanced Full Tower with USB3.0

Any help would be really appreciated.

TIA

To be honest, all 3 are very nice cases but I love my CM 922. Whats the difference between the 932 and the 922? looking at the pics it just looks like the 932 has more front USB's and a different side panel?

The Corsair looks a little small compared to the others

600T white... it is lovely and big enough

I'm not sure exactly, but I wrote the 922 off due to no USB 3.0 on front?

How does it look in White where the rest of components are black?

yep..I have to say that does look pretty damn great! Great build you have there. The white is def growing on me.

Just out of interest, how much did the watercooling set you aside?

Nice..liking that and the reviews!

I hadn't even considered the white until Stinger53 suggested, then yourself and various other reviews. It's def going to be this or the Akasa Venom Strike now..

I agree with those loving the 600T great case but just not the best for water cooling. You may have some issues with the noise as well because of the loud 200mm fans
