CASE, PSU and CPU COOLER?

[Raiddinn]

The short form is that the advantages don't make up for all the disadvantages.

The long form is quite long, but I wrote a blog post about it that I think you may only be able to read if you friend me on Google+.

You can try reading it without and see what happens. Let me know if it works or doesn't work.

The link is kinda long and these boards usually break long links, so I made it tiny.

Thanks guys. I got the Cooler Master HAF 912 PLUS and Seasonic SS-650A 650W PSU.

I'll be taking a single MSI gtx 670 as well, so my PC build is now complete.

Thanks again!

Good parts all of them.

Personally I hate the 912 and its plastic looks.
Much prefer the Corsair 300r or Antec One, Antec 302 cases for a budget.

Looks are a matter of opinion.

For a budget case $50 its cooling cant be beat. And it is quiet and has good cable management.
The cases you listed are $80 to $90 cases. Totaly different category. and their cooling is no better and the Corsair is not as good.

Antec one = $49

Antec 302 = $69

HAF912 = $59
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233&Tpk=HAF%20912

So i repeat i much prefer the Antec One, looks better, cools as well as 912, and is $10 cheaper.

$49 + $8 shipping = $57
$59 + $0 shipping = $59

So what you really save is $2.

What you lose for that $2 savings is a removable cage, a SSD rack, and 1 less fan slot. Not to mention the HAF holds 200s whereas the Antec doesn't.

I would pay the $2 if it were me.
