I am really considering the HAF X
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119225&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
I want something with a side window, good air flow, and a semi simple design.
I don't like the alien looking cases like some of the ones from NZXT, I want to keep it simple but add the custom LED strip that I bought from ebay here:
I am looking to spend about $200 or less including shipping on the case.
For my build I am seeing if I can find a better boot SSD on Black Friday/ Cyber Monday.
Looking for something that performs well and is about 250gb for around $120 or less.
I am also unsure about the extra case fans I have on my PC Partpicker build & I know it depends on the case that I get that includes fans and if I want to end up replacing them.
I zeroed out the price because I want sure if I wanted to include them. I will probably decide to order them as the last part to my build after I buy my case.
I dont want a jet engine loud case, but I do want it to have efficient cooling. If the noise isnt crazy then it wont bother me.
I am not ecstatic about the red in the HAF X either but it looks cool I guess & I can always turn it off and use the LED strip I bought.
I could get the blue edition for an extra $30 though including shipping.
I did buy the high static fans in my build so I can replace the stock fans on the H100i CPU Cooler because I read the stock fans are loud.
Well here is my build so you can see if it fits & if everything I am buying or have bought works together.

I also prefer it to have a fan in the front of the case that isn't blocked by a door.
