New Case / Fans needed !

Last December Tom's Hardware published a technical review of four gaming cases. The review included results for thermal performance. Here's a link to the review:

I have the Coolermaster HAF 932. Ventilation, airflow, and cooling are outstanding.

The Antec Twelve Hundred is another excellent case.

I don't know what prices might be like in your part of the world.

i've heard good things bout the Antec 300, i don't require alot of bays for hard disks etc so i think the HAF 932 and Antec 1200 are too big for me.
The 902 looks like a decent option as well.

Say if i bought the Antec 902 assuming my hardware wouldnt have any problems.
Fans included: Rear : 1 x 12 cm - ( 1 installed) Top : 1 x 20 cm - ( 1 installed) Front : 2 x 12 cm - ( 2 installed) Side : 1 x 12 cm - ( 0 installed) 1 x 12 cm - ( 0 installed)

what other fans would i need to buy for this and can anyone link me any good fans ?

Since i can snap up an Antec 902 for about £80-90 i have about £20-30 to buy any additional fans .

Is a stock heatsink on a Q6700 alright as well for gaming?

I am a complete noob in building PC's and thank you for your input so far !

The Antec Three Hundred is a very popular case with gamers on a tight budget.

Hmmm.. What I think (strictly an opinion!)

The Antec 902/1200 is best for air cooling. You can control the speed of the fans without additional hardware, great cable management, good aesthetics...

I have a 1200 myself and could not be more happy.

The HAF 932 is another great case, but I think it would be a better choice for water cooling than the 1200, and the 1200 is a better choice for air.

You should also check out the CM Stacker 830/832. That's a huge case, but very user-friendly and has great airflow.

I also have nothing against the Antec 300, but in that price range, you have to go for the original: The CM RC-690.

SO...

Full towers:

1200/902 for air.

HAF Series for Water cooling.

Stacker 830 for all that fancy pants motherboard tray, fan tray, and hdd tray stuff

Midtowers:

CM RC690 - best bang/buck case all around.
Antec 300 - second best bang/buck case all around.

---------------

BTW, the 902 includes all the fans you could ever want except the side window fan (great cooling comes with great noise) and the INTERNAL HDD rack fan.

I wouldn't really get another fan. It has enough.

Another cheap, but good option is the NZXT m59.

a cheap case i use (waayy too big, i regret buying it actually) that is PACKED with fans is the Sunbeam Transformer case. this will cool just about any rig. i HIGHLY recomend a fan speed controller though cause its louder than a jet engine

Mmm. True. NZXT and The CM Storm series will not disappoint.

I think the Scythe Mugen II has a 775 bracket. That's a great cooler, and for the price too.

Just make sure your memory modules don't have huge heatsinks!

I have the Xigmatec Dark Knight Cooler.

Installing the fan was a pain in the ass but it cools like a champ. Highly Recommended.

It is compatible with 775 and 1366 CPUs.

I had the AC Freezer Pro before my Xigmatec Dark Knight. It still is an amazing cooler if you do not need 1366 or 1156 compatibility. It's been around forever and still cools as well as new coolers. The only reason I replaced it is one of the platic clips on the mounts broke. Even mounted with 3 clips it still kept my CPU cool.

It has something like 2000+ 5 Egg reviews on newegg.

^5 +1 what obsidian86 said.

I did a case mod last year. Intsalled the original Hyper 212 in a modified HAF 932. The results were outstanding.
