Hi, guys. I ask for your advice, as you have heard about different cases. I am building a PC: 4770k, h110 cooling, 2*gtx780, good power supply, 1 hdd and 1 SDD. The problem is the case. I demand from it: Full-tower, h110 fittable, not noisy(i dont want to change all the fans, if the case will cost 200$, but if 100-150 maybe it will be ok, but only if it will be convenient in other ways. Also i want it to be nice and special, not an average box, want fan control in the front and anti-dust filter, where they should be.
The price is from 100 to 250(250 if i wont be made to change anything).
Here is some list i made http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/case/#m=50,94,56&t=4&p=0&sort=a6 you can advice from it. Thanks a lot.

Looked into it and I see about the HAF. It seems corsair cases support H110 the best. So that seems you're looking at Obsidian 900D, 650D or vengeance C70. Someone said the 650 is not the best at cooling and the 900D is priced too high. The 900D is my personal dream case but to keep the budget I suggest the Corsair Vengance C70. You really stuck yourself with the H110. If you don't want to mod / fiddle with screws, your choices are limited. Hardware Canuks used the HAF X for their testing and said nothing of H110 not fitting. Not sure how they did it.


As for the HAF X loudness, I have this as well as the 932. The HAF X is in my living room and sleep on the couch all the time with it running all the time. I've never noticed it. It's...

As I read some discussions, I saw, that H110 has 280mm rad and it wont fit haf x properly. Then, some people wrote, that hafX is a bit noisy and there is no way you can fix it(the noise is about 37 db). The main issue is certain problems with the H110....

Thanks for the answer, it is really informative. Dont have anything against corsair, but their cases really look like a box with nothing special. I dont want to say, that the cooling in them is not good, buy I am going to spend quite a sum of money on my build and want smth looking special. Going to check that review, that you mentioned.
