HAF 932 Full tower… best case I ever owned. You could do so much with this case… big fans 230mm. wow! Coolermaster very affordable with good quality.

I got a Thermaltake kandalf with the 220mm on the side really good air circulation

5770 + cooler master tx = $ 275

Try the antec perhaps? i saw a thermaltake black widow that looks very sleek and is solid black yet because it was in the box i could not see if there is enough air flow in the case. I for one am going to mod the panel in my gateway for better air flow but next year ill do a custom build i think.

Not a laptop case. My HP laptop CPU just cooked after 2 years of moderate use. Poor air circulation design. Thanks for the pc of crap HP. My desktop is great with the Antec server case. Lots of room for anything.

i just place my components into a coolermaster 922, and so far the cooling is great compared to my old xblade.

Akasa eclipse is still the best case going all these years later.

hi im rodney reynolds and today we’re going to do another video review! thankfully the motherboard tray IS removeable!

The 922 HAF is a bit overpriced, on newegg it is only 20 bucks less than the 932, its big bro.

The tempest is great because its like 80 bucks, and the 900 is also good.

word, older lian li’s, the ones i ususally look at, have terrible air flow. my 900 is fantastic, my next pc will have the 300 though because i dont like plexi sides….

Newer model Lian-Li cases DO focus on air flow but because of they’re price, they’ve lost me as a customer. 100′s of dollars for a case is ridiculous. You should never have to pay damn near equal to or just as much as what the components you intend on putting in the case for the case itself. Give me a break.

wtf?

By foxracer927 on January 10th, 2010 at 3:21 am

top 5 mid tower cases go:

1. antec 902
2. antec 900
3. cooler master haf 922
4. cooler master cm-690
5. antec 300

yeh long life 922!

Lian-Li also doesn’t focus on cooling. Many of the cases are still a classic design, where as Antec has moved on to designs that are better cooling. My Antec 900 with 90cfm fans keeps everything under 30c, my AMD 6000+ is oc’d to 3.2 and its only 22c base and 28c load, I love Antec, always have, always will.

Cooler Master 922 is a really nice case.

Btw, I think that 95% of the cases are just plain ugly…sigh

The best case are still the ones that are not overpiced because of their name… seriously… I was looking at some Lian-Li case…$600…get out!
You should also examine a Lian-Li case very carefully, you’ll be shocking to see how poor their finishing is at times, nothing compared to the Antec quality if you ask me.
