Hello there!
After 9 years sitting with the case I have ( CM HAF 932 full tower) I think is time to change.Basic reasons, is when my DvD drive works, it doing so much noise, and most worse ..was always 'dust collector'.
It has good airflow tho, and keep my motherboard, I7 4930k and my GPU ( GTX 970 MSI 4Gb Gaming) very cool:)
But they collect dust easy ..its sad a nice case like this, and have no filtters at all. Would be much easier for me to clean it , than every few weeks open the case and do it all time .Maybe becausue I have it in the floor ...and is natural ( is Full tower).From the other hand, never use all its expansions.
Always had max 2 hdd's (1 is SSD) and never crossfire or SLI ) So Now thinking a more compact midi tower .
I have look at these ( can't afford a lot money for case now)
1 LC-Power gaming 976B
2.Thermaltake Versa N24
3.Deepcool Dukase V2
I found some coolermaster and NZTX cases I like ..but the problem is they haven't 5.25' bay.
Or if someone have some other thought , feel free to add comments
Thank you :)

I read for the Phanteks P400 had not easy airflow. As for the Corsair ..its good case, but not 'good ' looking.Thats why I pick up the cases I write. To have the case , but enjoy the looking too .
Corsair cost 20 more euros and Phanteks 35+ than the others
Anyway ..thanks for the advice ..looks like need to search for more :)

Hi again
Just after long search, about a good case, even more expensive, but was worth it
The Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Special Edition Mid-Tower Case Tempered Glass - Black/White.
After so many reviews, youtube videos, etc. found it the most excellent choice I had to make :)
I would have take other similar model from other company ..like NZTX, Corsair ...but was the only with one coming with 5.25' bay.
Was looking for the Be Quiet- Pure Base 600 too, but the cooling results was low, compare to Phanteks Ehtroo Pro M.
That was my case solution :)
