which cases support 200mm fans?

[reyesz3]

Hey guys I've been thinking about building my first PC for a couple weeks now and I've been researching for about a week and I just cant seem to find a decent PC case under £70 that support 200mm fans.
I really like the idea of having a huge fan with low rpm mounted on the roof or front of my case, aswell as a few 140mm fans on the sides to cool my system.
I found that the cooler master HAF 912 is a perfect candidate

But aren't there any other cases for a similar price that dont look like it belongs to a 13 yr old? :L

Also I would love if you guys have any comments on my build:

Processor: AMD FX6350 3.9Ghz 6 Core
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0
Video Card: Asus GTX 650Ti 1GB
RAM: Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3
PSU: Corsair 750w CXM Builder Modular
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Storage: Seagate 500GB SSHD SATA III

Well thats basically it I might use the optical drive off my old PC so that and the case is still undecided. Any views on my build is appreciated

Very good first build. The case is a good candidate for what you want, good build quality lots of space, good cable management can be implemented in this case. I think 750w PSU is overkill though, unless you plan on getting a second graphics, HDD/SDD etc.

Your system could easily run on a 650w such as this, http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-P1-650S-NLB9-PRO650W-Edition-Supply/dp/B0045L5LGI/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1374767106&sr=1-1&keywords=XFX+650W

just make sure that the amount fans that you desire can be supported by the motherboard, check to see how many fan headers there are on the motherboard if you dint already know however that is a good first rig.

it depends how much you are willing to spend on a case, usually you will find 200m fans i full tower cases as they are much bigger than ATX (or midi tower) cases.

The case is good and surprisingly cheaper than most cases that support 200mm fans, but im just a little skeptical about the look of the case.
Oh thanks for the advice there I didnt know a 650w PSU would do the job! That should save me a couple £'s 😀 I was reading through some reviews about the processor and alot of them were mentioning overclocking and that a 750w PSU is suitable, if I stick with the 650w will it still be able to run if I do decide to overclock later on?

The motherboard supports up to three chassis fans, luckily I can have two 200mm fans and a 140mm fan possibly running my system

I think the most im willing to spend is about £80 I dont want to have to spend too much on the case, as I'd prob be better off using that cash on performance components 🙁

Yes if you overclock later on then you will have no problem with a 650w. I had a cooler master 650w and I was able to overclock my CPU from stock speed to 4.1GHz. I think the stock fans in that case have a switch which you can turn off the lights. I understand performance over looks.

For PSU's go for either

Corsair
XFX
Seasonic

Ok thats great then! A 650w should solve my problem thanks for that Azrael47

Ill check out the PSU's you recommened and also which setup would you rather use, smaller fans (120mm) directed at crucial heat spots around the mobo or larger fans (200mm) dispersing airflow over a larger area? Taking into account noise levels too, which would you prefer?

 

[Azrael47]

Both have good advantageous and disadvantageous traits But I use x2 120mm as outlet, x2 140mm as intake and a 120mm for my water cooler.

All my fans are the AF series quiet edition from Corsair so they are very quiet.
