need help choosing a case for a new i7 build

vshah

Lifer
my only requirements are as follows:

should be wide enough to fit a TRUE or noctua tower heatsink
should have room for 6 hard drives
should fit a gtx 260 easily enough
filters for all intake fans
no leds or lights other than power and hdd

under 150

the antec comes pretty close, but i don't like the blue LEDs on all the fans (i'm aware you can turn the top one off, but can you turn the front/rear LEDs off?)

any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Vivan
 
haf 932 competes with the 900. the haf932 is quieter, but a has less airflow out of the box. has lots of space for 120mm fans that u buy on your own though.
 
i ended up getting the 900 after reading online that one can disable the blue leds simly by clipping a wire on the fan. (previously i wasn't sure if the LED power wire was accessible, but it apparently is.)

i may just cut them, or add a switch in case i do ever feel like having them on

I confirmed that the wire is indeed accessible. I think I'll keep my blue LEDs going though. 🙂
 
let me just say I LOVE my Coolermaster ATCS 840. I just got a side panel window for it so it's rocking da house now.

Ambient temps inside the case are at room temp, great case nuff said
