I'm looking at getting a new case and have narrowed it down to two:

Cooler Master HAF 922 RC

Corsair Carbide Series 500R Arctic White

Both end up at $70 after discounts/rebates. I'm not a huge fan of the white, but I don't really like the red led either (easy to change though). I do like the 'feet' on the corsair, though. I could definitely be fine with the white if it is a better case. Right now I'm just doing air cooling, but will probably move to some form of water in the future (probably an off the shelf cpu only solution at first). I also need this case to last me a while. Any thoughts/input would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. also looking at the Corsair Obsidian 350D which I really like the look of but worry about size wise if I decide to get a more powerful gpu in the future. In the reviews there is feedback of corsair not honoring the rebate as well, any one have experience with this? Thank you.

Also, I'm open to other suggestions though $70 is pretty much my limit on this (maybe stretch to $80). If there are solid alternatives under $70, I'd be interested as well.

Those are pretty much the best deals in that price range right now. Either of those is great, I'd prefer the 500R based on internal and external looks, and I also don't need two 200mm fans (or even one to be honest).

In Win G7 $68
NZXT Source 210 Elite $50
Rosewill R5 $80

Obsidian 350D is great as well, and there's no reason it wouldnt handle a high end GPU. The only thing to keep in mind is that it's microATX.

Ahh yes, should have looked closer. I guess the Corsair Carbide 300R at $50 would be the other option. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll take a look at them.
