Hey what do you think about this case?

Would it be good for cooling the components I have?

What about space wise?

Hey so if I did get the Haf 932...would this aftermarket fan work as a CPU cooler and I wouldnt have to worry about temps anymore??

Really good on both and one of the best Overclocker friendly and Reliablity well as far i know it the most Reliable motherboard Brand on market
Tough asus high end & DFI & Foxcom / MSI / Asrock got quite high reliablity it should go fine and i hope you enjoy ur card ;)

in future if you want Great sound get either a Auzentech X-FI PRelude 7.1 On sales or X-FI Fataltiy 1 Titanimum if you find it too expesnive for gaming
For Pure music and movie : the Asus Xonar Card Which is aroudn 120-140$

The Antec 1200 may have a superrior managing for Double Loop Water Cooling who know
But If i'm sure of someting about theHAf 932 for Airflow there no doubt if you want a gpu as hot as 4850x2 / and a CPu Overclocked Cooled to the max the HAf 932 & A thermalrithgt 120 And ur worry freemarcthpro

Antec 1200 and double loop water cooling?

Sorry this is my first PC so I dont know everything just yet :D

Thanks lol!

all those case wasn't very overclocking friendly beside the one at 120$ ? even tough if you want something it better be as good as CM 690 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119137 Cm 690
IF You want more airflow power then get HAf 932 Beefdog Even confirmed it a good airflow case apprently much better then is Antec 900
so it just as bit-tech say a Performances of 10/10 in there review

oh and topic Creator what you think of my Advice posted earlier for video card suggestion ? and Motherboard suggestionmarcthpro

I decided to go with the 4850 x2 after checking out some of the benchmarks, so thanks for the info!

Also about the motherboard you mentioned...how is the sound quality? Also is it overclock friendly? Reliability?

Thanks for the advice!

P.S. About the cases mentioned how do they hold up compared to the Antec 1200? Is the Antec a far superior case or no?

A good system, very similar to my server. My server has the same motherboard and it owns, it has linux built into it, overclocks like a champ, a lot of sata ports for my 9 hard drives, and is just reliable. Same cpu too, but I oc'd it to 3.7 ghz :) I can't say I'm a big fan of the case, but if you like it sure, gets good reviews. Over all a good computer, I'd buy it, right now ;)JigglyWiggly_

What dont you like about the case?

How do these two cases compare?
