New midtower for my build

Winston_008 · Aug 27, 2011

Can someone suggest, a midtower atx case, that has fairly extreme airflow, for a cool running system? Ive heard the haf series are good.

I use a HAF 922, its awesome. But I would still recommend the Corsair Obsidian 650D, its so easy to work with. No screws or anything. It has stand off points for any ATX motherboard, it has a sexy paint job, and there are so many more reasons.

Yep, 650D is my recommendation as well.

I second the 922. Its like an Abrams tank which strangely has its tread marks on itself!

Depending on budget, 400R or 650D.

If you need something cheaper, then Bitfenix Shinobi Window.

I'm happy with my HAF, so definitely a recommended case series.

Agreed on the above suggestions, an add-in by myself HAF 912. It can get crazy airflow with the many fan bays.

HAF922 and the 650D are both good. I have a 922 and I personally think it looks better.

I quite like my Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced case. It has room for 8 or 9 fans and there are removable dust filters on most of them to make cleaning easy.

I am a big fan of the Corsair 600T graphite Special edition or none Special edition. It has allot of features... and is big enough to hold quite a bit of water cooling gear if you so choose to in the future. Plus it is very modifiable.

I use one and I am able to fit a EATX motherboard in one... plus two GTX 580's (I have also tested two HD6990's in this case) Eight expansion slots....A water cooling setup and enough room for as many hard drives as anyone will ever really need. It comes with great stock cooling.... and also fits longer PSU's. Also will hide any cable you have with ease.

A little pricey but worth it.
