Which case?

[bigislandigor]

Doing my build, I have narrowed down to two cases, CM HAF 922 and Corsair Graphite 600T, Please help me decide.

I recommend you look at the Silverstone RV02 again. I know its a little bit more expensive, but it really is worth it.

Now all RV02s and FT02s come with AP181 fans, and since the internals (except for HDD bays) are exactly the same, they cool the same. So look at this:

Note that the RV02/FT02 perform even better than the other with multiple GPUs and/or Fermi cards.

both have 2x 200m fans and 1x 120mm fans. the corsair is larger though, its almost full tower size, both are easy to build in although the corsair may be slightly easier. you should go with the case that you think looks the best since that is one peace of hardware where looks matter and both those cases have unique styles that might not be for everyone.

I was told the corsair doesn't have as good airflow as the 922?

AMW, silverstone pay you for all the love you give them because you seem on the verge of becoming one of those intel/nvidia/AMD fan boys with them?

Umm... It will outperform both of the cases he listed by leaps and bounds, its not much more money, its very simple to build in, and is a great case all around. Yeah, when someone can afford it, I recommend these cases, because they are some of, if not the best, performing cases when it comes to air cooling.

If Championing a Champion is putting me on the verge of Fanboyism, so be it. Wait until you see my review that is coming up. 😀

Hey,ct1615,
What are your favorite cases? Your top three? I'm looking a a large mid-tower( in case my i5 build, turns into a i7 build 😀 )
