Im going to order a new case in the next few days, just browsing at the moment and wondering which case should i go for, im mainly looking at these 3 below.

Antec 1200
Antec 900
Coolermaster HAF 932

Whats the difference between the 1200,900 and 902 are there any major differences or are they all very similar.

cheers all!
 
Very similar: Check Antecs Gaming Cases section to compare.

Only the 902 and 1200 are black inside

Otherwise they all go along the same lines of:

Box with 20cm exhaust fan at top
Tray thingy on the roof for gamer stuff
Full case height HDD/5.25 rack at the front and 2-3 fans between rack and mesh front
Blue LED fans - more fans with LEDs as you go from 900 to 902 to 1200
Top/Front corner mounted I/O ports and buttons
No internal partitions

The 1200 has 1 more rear fan and one more front fan plus 12 x 5.25" bays instead of the 9 in the 900 and 902.

You pays your money and takes your choice, they're just minor developments on the same theme.

From those HAF932 would be my choise (if I would tolerate such noise leaking magpie nests) because of good working space with long graphics cards while 1200 just fits longest graphics cards by practically blocking 5.25" bay.
 
The 902 and the 1200 both have dust filters and easy access fan speed control for all the case fans. They also have better cable management holes. And they are both black insides, as has already been mentioned.

Deffently the 902, I have the 902 and its one the best purchases i have bought for my rig.

The 902 obviously has the two fans on the front which has adjustable RPM which is very handy if your CPU/GPU is getting a bit steamy, it has the cleanable air filters which are easy as pie to clean and probably the best feature of the case is the "Big Boy" Fan on the top...
 
I have just bought the HAF932. Very, very impressed with it.

Big case, lots of big quiet fans and the cable management is the best I've ever seen.

It will certainly keep your PC cool.
 
The 1200 is a fantastic case, its got so much to offer, backplate to hide all the cables, easy to remove front panels to clean the fans, extremely spacious, infact i think its the easiest build ive ever done, antec got it right on the button with this one, the 900 is a great case but this is something special mate.
