I've been trying to get the Fractal Design Focus G White for awhile now and for some reason I have not received it yet (shipping errors and whatnot) so I'm done waiting almost a month. This Friday I will be going to a Microcenter near me to get a new case, I have a $100 limit and would want it in white to match my build. The two cases I have my eyes on is the NZXT H500 & the Inwin 303 but I'm not really sure which one to go with, both have decent reviews. I will be using a semi-modular PSU if that affects the choice.

The Microcenter store is the one in Cambridge, Boston, MA.

I have a NZXT case and its nice.. I would personally just go with the one you like more. as well as if you water cool. the nzxt case it looks out of the box supports up to 280mm front mounted OR up to 120mm rear mounted radiatior. where the other looks like top mounted 360mm radiator and 120 mm back as well. so yea just get one that fits your needs.. OR mod it like I did when I got a watercooling setup that would not fit :)

Normally I would but I was having shipping issues with Newegg & Amazon. Oddly it was only the case, all my other parts shipped fine. Right now I'm case-less and would like to be back up and gaming Friday night so I'm just taking the 1.5 hour trip to Boston.

I've had previous NZXT cases (S340 & Noctis 450) so I think I'm going for the H500. It has good build space, cable management and enough 2.5/3.5 drive space for all my storage. I liked the LED light's on the Focus G however I could always replace the fans on H500 with the remainder of my $100 budget.

I'd have to fly out there, there's no Fry's out here on the north-east coast. And yes I'll let you know Friday evening when I get back and assembled.

The ATX connection barely overlaps where the 120mm fan is but the space between is like 3mm however there is a large enough gap between the top and rear of the case to get that ATX connection between the motherboard and the back of the case to keep it hidden and its fairly easy to connect.
