I was going to go with an Antec 900, but after reading many of the comments about needing to mod the MB tray for cable management, how tight a fit 2 GPUs are (nVIDIA GTX 260 216s) , etc. Space in my office is not an issue so I decided to bump up to a full tower.

I read the http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/full-tower-case,2105.html article, browsed around, and have generally decided on the HAF 932, but my concern is with noise. How much louder is the HAF 932 than the Antec 1200 I wonder, and really does anyone run the HAF 932 with an OC processor and 2 GPUs?

Any general opinions? I really like that its lighter, has more expansion slots, is cooler, etc. In practice, it will sit under my desk most of the time, and might only be a gaming rig (and as such turned off a lot) reserving the PC I am working on now for general computing (for which its just fine).

Your experiences would be appreciated.
