Hey everyone. I'm building my first gaming rig and I'm trying to find the best case. I was originally going to buy a Coolermaster HAF 922 but then I found the Corsair Graphite Series 600t. The case is stylish, big and has awesome cable management capabilities. The only thing that I don't like is the price tag. Is the 600t worth the price? I'm hoping that I'll just have to buy a case once and it SHOULD last me for future builds.

I'm looking at mid-size cases. I plan on having no more than 2 hard drives and using a 212 evo or h100i CPU cooler (not sure if I'm going to air cool or liquid cool the CPU yet).

If you need any more info please let me know.

The 600T has GREAT cable management. Many grommets for cable placement and ziptie mount spots on the back.

600T isn't really optimized for air cooling, so temps are kind of iffy. I've had to mount 2 extra fans to keep everything at a comfortable 40c.

I got my case at half price so it was well worth it for the time, but I wouldn't really recommend this case if you're future-proofing.

I'd look into the Phanteks Enthoo Pro, becoming more and more popular -- it offers the biggest bang for your buck for future proofing. Provides plenty of fan mounts as well as radiator and native reservoir mounts both in the front and back.
