As above you will need bigger case(its messy:) ),CoolerMaster HAF series is only case what I would consider there

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

HAF X is a great case, worth that little bit more :)

Wow Pete... I am going to post you some ****ing cable ties! :D

eagle 13 January 2013 12:34 PM

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 :thumb: i think it went in well considering the size :cry::cry::cry::cry: however as its me birthday a cooler master storm trooper would be more appropriate :D:D:D:D:D

Messy?

I'll show you messy.....


(quad core, RAID0 + SSD in a HTPC case: runs very very quiet, and fairly cool...considering :lol1: )

Ant 03 March 2013 06:16 PM

I remember seeing a picture if your desk so I'm not surprised ali

dpb 03 March 2013 06:23 PM

Those cases of eagles look like mini wardrobes!

Scooby_Lee101 03 March 2013 08:50 PM

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 :)

jura11 03 March 2013 10:00 PM

Looking like good case,but still I would choose CM HAF series for building any PC

Evolution Stu 04 March 2013 10:42 AM

Much better mate. :)
I can see a big space just screaming for another 6870 down the bottom there... ;)

eagle 04 March 2013 06:46 PM

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...
