CoolerMaster HAF. I see the the HAF 912 and the HAF X listed in their P67 builds...Personally, I'd go with the HAF X. VERY nice case. Well built, tons or room, outstanding air flow characteristics, quiet fans, fabulous cable management.

I have no experience with the Apevia; however, I will say that if you are building a system like that price wise... what is an extra $100. They really charge $3300 for that? The HAF X is a hell of a nice case (as long as you never have to carry it anywhere)!

Apevia/Aspire is pretty low quality crap.
I have an Aspire case in my junk closet. It was cheap and came with a 500 watt PSU...that was the crappiest thing I've ever seen.

Spend a bit more and buy quality. You won't regret it.

For me, the "Wow" factor is what's inside the case, not the case itself...but I DO like a nice, well built case that's not gaudy or that has too many LED fans.

OK, I am going with 1 GTX 590 EVGA Classified, 1 i7 990z or 2600k Over clocked, 8 or 12GB 1600 Ram, 1 120GB to 160GB SSD, 1 2TB HDD, 1 DL Reader / Writer, 1 BD Reader / Writer, Coolmaster HAF-X, and the best mobo and psu for this setup. Also I want the system to run quite but I dont want water cooling. How should I do this? Cyberpowerpc? Custom Build?
