I am currently looking for a case for my new build, looking for advice and opinions. Maybe someone can talk me into a case as I have looked at a bunch of cases and can't quite decide. I need a case with good air flow as I do not want to use WC and live in Texas, plenty of room (I seem to like my full tower or my mid; could be a bad mid case) something to fit a n-14d cooler for my 4770k, fan controllers can be included or buy separate if needed (MB: Looking at the Asus Hero), budget is ~200$ (that should get it done), side window is preferred, front air take, side air take, and top/rear exhaust and possibly room in the case to blow air across the vga/mb/cpu. How many fans are really needed to keep a system cool, I am always looking for a case with a lot of fans but fans cause noise and once you reach a certain fan limit do it help or hurt the air flow? IF extra fans or fans needed please recommend, I have seen the fan round up thread, but if someone has a personal opinion please share. Thanks

The HAF 912 has plenty of space for cables, has 2 slots for ssds on the bottom, 2 slots for hard drives on the bottom as well. I take the middle hard drive cage out because it gives you more room plus I don't have more than 2 ssds or 2 hard drives, and it also gives tons of room for extra long graphics cards or SLI/Crossfire setups. The air flow is great in this case. Like I said, it has everything you would need and only costs like $50-60.

I've used many brands and all size cases except the super tower cases, and I have to say that the best designed, built, and overall quality for the money mid tower case is the cooler master haf 912 hands down. This case is very good quality, lightweight, and it's like $60. Really, the only reason to get anything bigger is if you absolutely have so much hardware that you need the extra space, coming from owning a Corsair 800D. Hope this helps.

Yea I was looking into the Blackhawk gaming case (Super Tower) I have looked at the full tower HAF 932/942, and they look good. How is the air flow/temps in the mid case you are talking about. The cable management/space pretty good in this case? Mainly, just 1-2 sdd, 1-2 hdd, fans where needed, 2 video cards possibly (at least can handle if I want 2)
