I plan to have the following built but I can't find a case that is right for it. I need Cool/Quiet as I am in Las Vegas and it will sit on my corner desk behind the monitor.
The HAF 932 doesn't quit line up according to an article under 'Motherboards' for this board.

CPU Intel Core I7 920(D0) Nehalem 2.66GHz LGA 1366
Motherboard ASUS P6X58D
RAM 12 GB Patriot PC3 1600 (2000) 8-8-8-24
Video Saphire 5870(VaporX Cooling) or
ASUS EAH5770 (Supports Displayport,HDMI 5 x 9 inches)
Monitor HP LP2475w(1920 x 1200 @ 60,66,75,85 Hz)
Power Supply Corsair HX750W
CPU Cooler Corsair H50
Operating System Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Hard Drive Intel X25-M 160GB G2, (1)WD Caviar Black 1TB, SATA 6.0 HDD
OCZ SSD's seem to be getting good press.
 
So im lost in what your asking for...

Your using a H5O so the most important thing for you is a location of the rear exhaust fan and size.

You need to make sure the rear exhaust fan is 120mm, or your gonna hurt fitting it inside the case.

The HAF i believe does use a 120mm rear so your fine.

But im lost in what your asking for.
 
After a quick search, that appears to be a (SUPER EXPENSIVE) ATX motherboard. Any case that accepts an ATX motherboard (read: any ATX mid tower, full tower, desktop, etc.) should work fine with it. Where did you see that it wouldn't work with the HAF 932?

The only thing you should stay away from is small Micro ATX (mATX) or ITX cases.
 
What I am asking is what case, MidTower if possible, will handle my planned build. My reference to the HAF 932 is at the following.

I do not want to have the case modded. Additionally, I am planning on
Case Fans Scythe Gentle Typhoons if needed
DVD Drive LG GGC-H20LK 6X Blu-ray/HD DVD-ROM, 16X DVD±RW

I haven't looked into DVD drives, so my choice may not be the best.
 
If you're just going to use the one SSD drive, I don't see why you'll have an issue w/the 932.
I read the thread you linked to but I still don't understand what it is about the 932 that you're hesitant about.
 
I dont think you'd have any problems with ANY mid tower with your EQ.

Your not running a Classified, nor are you running a 5970, nor do you have a 1kw+ PSU.

So u shouldnt have ANY issues in almost ANY mid tower.
 
THe Back Plate area of this MB does NOT LINE UP with the motherboard tray on the HAF, but it is close. I was able to install a backplate for the H50 buy unscrewing a few motherboard screws and slightly pushing on it from the back while then droping the back plate in position with a little force, took about 5 minutes in all.
Click to expand...

What ever case you get, install the backpate first, You'll have no problems.
