I'm looking to get a new case and thinking about the Haf 932 because the thermaltake v9 black case i got a few months ago has been nothing but trouble (top fan breaking withing the first 5 mins of starting it up, front panel audio doesn't work, absolutely no cable management)
What is everyone's opinion on the Cooler Master Haf 932?
Are there any common issues with the case?
How is the cable management?
And are there any full tower cases from newegg or tiger direct for under $200 that anyone would recommend over the Haf 932?
Edit: Also does anyone have any experience with the thermaltake spedo?
The chamber layout looks a little iffy cooling wise
I would recommend the Stacker 830, Cosmos S, Cosmos 1000, or ATCS 840 (in order of highest to lowest.)

Don't buy Thermaltake cases.

I'm not much of a fan of cases with a door on them but the antec 1200 looks pretty good, and ya i have a 750w modular.
But how is the 1200 with full sized video cards like the gtx260, which i have and will cpu coolers like the v8 fit in it?
I really like my 932, I don't have any issues with it. The cable management is excellent.
The 1200 isn't very good for cable management, it does not have a removable motherboard tray or CPU retention hole, and it is noisy.

Well, to be honest, when it comes down to these few cases I would just say go with whatever you think looks the best.

Ya, but last time i did that i got a piece of shit (the v9 i mentioned) lol, that is why im asking all the questions so i don't spend $100+ on a case that isn't completely what i'm looking for.
And here are the things im going to be getting since im finally able to finish building my gaming pc

The reason i picked the i5 is because i hear it is almost as good as the i7 but costs alot less, however ill go with i7 if you guys think its worth the extra $100+ for i7 over i5
i5 gets basically the exact same game performance as the i7 920, sometimes ever so slightly better

There are really only a few main cases you should be looking at in this area, and those are: HAF 932, Antec 1200, Antec P182/183/193, Stacker 830, Cosmos S, and the Cosmos 1000.

You don't need the FTW edition.
[editline]05:59PM[/editline]
I highly, highly, [i]highly[/i] recommend the Stacker 830.

The stacker isn't looking too bad, the side fan door thingy looks pretty neat and the slide out mobo tray looks very helpful, ill probably grab that one.
and one last thing, what is your opinion on this ram?
