HAF 932 or HAF X are two cases what I would consider

problem is stu, big psu loads of cables, although it looks worse than it is.. all the cables are at that side of the metal part of the case and not impeding any airflow NOW .
airflow is good, but if you really want to send me some then thanks i think it went in well considering the size however as its me birthday a cooler master storm trooper would be more appropriate

CM HAF cases are awesome.

I have the HAF 922.

Plenty big enough for large motherboards, dual or tri GPUs. Plenty of storage space and plenty of cooling.
I have 3 200mm fans plus 1 x 120mm exhaust fan, plus 1 x 120mm fan at the base of the tower to push all the hot air upwards

i was going for a haf 932, but it was not the best for my other needs. my mate has a 932 so i know its an awesome case and would have been good but i had other factors to consider.

thanks stu ... make me spend more money why not..

still on the lookout for some silent or quiet and powerfull fans...
