hard decisions

[vincedea]

i want to get a new case. iv been eyeing the HAF sereis but am kinda turned off by the industrial look of it and i kinda want more of a professional look to the case that has really good air cooling. my budget is no more than $200. please give me some suggestions, if there arent that many choices i may just go ahead and get the haf-x case. thanks

I really like this CM690 II Advanced. Got it on sale at Micro Center for about $90. Kind of looks like a suitcase , but it really breathes well, with lots of fan options.

My only misgiving is that the hole in the motherboard base doesn't line up 100% with the underside of the CPU/cooler area for a P67 board -- it looks more like it was meant for X58 and triple channel RAM. But I've had no need to deal with any of that since I put it all together, so it hasn't been any sort of a real issue.

No need to spend an arm and a leg on a high-end case. Take the $120.00 you saved and put it towards an SSD...

Has the internal design basically of Haf 932 (more of a mid way option between it and the 924(X)) with a slide out tray and support for XL-ATX or E-ATX boards.

I am more of a fan of the industrial look and would just get the X.
