Hey i'm gonna be building a system in a couple of months and i don't want to ponder about what case to get in the future... i want to focus more on the other stuff.
I've looked at a couple, they all seem really good to me, but if any of you have personal experience, could you give me some feedback and your opinions?
CM HAF 922

NZXT Tempest

Antec 900

Antec 1200

So these are the cases i've been lookin at... and i'm kinda leaning towards the scout or the 922. The Antec series seems to be overbought and everyone seems to have one in the gaming world. I heard the Tempest is not good quality? And i hate rebates. And the HAF 932 doesn't come with dust filters....
Things to keep in mind
1. I'm probably never gonna water cool so if the case doesn't have those holes, its fine.
2. I hate mailing in rebates, who doesn't
3. Dust filters are nice =]
4. Most cases have more than enough hard drives and 5.25 bays for me... so those shouldn't be a problem
5. The CM cases have a nice combo on Newegg with this 700w CM silent PSU thats modular and has one rail
6. I don't hate the Antec 900 and 1200 lol
7. The lower the price, the better. I'm def. not paying more than like $150 for a case, unless it's REALLY worth it
8. Free shipping is a must. That's one reason i didnt like the tempest =[ $20 shipping is lame.
Other questions
1. What's better, 4 120mm fans, or one 230mm fan? This pertains to the HAF 932. I saw a video on youtube that showed the case with 4 fans instead of 1 on the side panel... and it sounded like a hair dryer... but is the noise worth the cooling?
2. Which case would you recommend out of the ones i listed? If you don't like any of them, which case do you recommend?
3. Where do you buy 120mm dust filters? The CM scout has two places on the side where you can install two more fans but there's no dust filters.
I will probably have more questions later on, but these are the ones i can think for now
Thanks for reading all of this and i greatly appreciate your posts ^_^
