I was thinking about getting this case: Cooler Master
HAF X Blue

However, it is really expensive and I found another similar looking one that is only $40 (but I'm afraid that one might be really low quality).

What do you think?

Yeah they are good for radiators but are also VERY good at maintaining airflow and LOW RPS. This is why I got them. I use a fan controller and run my fans low but they will still maintain a decent flow of air as opposed to just blowing air all over the place in no direction.

I did a build with this case about 4 months ago and it is very nice. Not a ton of space behind the back panel (seems to be common for Rosewill cases), but it was great to work with. The stock fans however are NOT quiet at full speed.

Just out of curiosity, what are you replacing them with? I just went through a mess replacing all my fans.

I was thinking of the SP but i thought those fans were meant for radiator cooling?

Yeah im going to buy a 140mm fan next week. Only have about 40$ to spare this check
