3 Way SLI of which cards? I would say HAF922 as well. But going for a full tower would be more advisable.thanks for your reply
i am thinking of 9600 gts only as each takes max of 150 watts
wont a full tower be too much for three 9600gt's
please also advise if a 190mm power supply like UCP 900W will fit into HAF922 or not?

PSU's are more or less the same size. If its the Cooler Master UCP 900W PSU, then your PSU is good enough.
Tom's says that on idle 9600GT takes about 120W.

I think HAF922 should be a good choice coz:
3x9600GT = Lot of heat + Choked Airflow.

Really??? 150 watts?? My GTS 250 takes no more than 144 watts and it is one of the least efficient modelsand a GTS 250 is nothing but a relabelled 9800GTX+
there is no way a 9600gts eats 150 watts
please take a look at the following links
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_9600gt_us....
http://support.asus.com/PowerSupplyCalculator/PSCalcula...
asus rates 9600 gt at 150 watts each, try clicking the VGA card menu

i am confused between HAF 922 AND CM690 II Advanced
as i am located in india where we have far more air dust than compared to Europe/US
do'nt you feel that larger fans in HAF 922 will suck in and out more air and dust when compared to CM690 II
please note that i will be running my pc at full load for at least 15 hours each day,

Yes, and it only supports 2-way SLI!
Im assuming your going to use 3-way SLI with 3 cards

Dust should not really be a big problem. Just clean your computer regularly. Im sure that if your computer is running 15 hrs a day you can afford 10 minutes and some compressed air

however if ever you visit India and stay for a couple of months
the dust here sort of eats into things and clings on to objects,
dust is a huge nuisance here.
and i can blow things with a vacuum cleaner, however i really am worried about throwing speeding air into all that stuff on a regular basis

HAHHAHA .. sry its just funny
basically it is a thing that blows air out, instead of suck it in (plz dont take that in the wrong way)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_duster
help at all?
basically its air pressurized... kind of like a can of deo spray.
so yes, it is kind of a vacuum cleaner in reverse
you can also use a vacuum just be more careful, and dont let the metal nozzle touch any of the components... try putting electrical tape on the nozzle... and dont suck in any cables

oh that,
no we don't get that in India,
it more looks like our typical deodorant spray minus the nozzle
the only thing which can protect us from dust is to sit inside air-conditioned cabins
but then we have extreme temperatures 44 C in summers and 5 C in winters
so your final suggestion is HAF 922 , is that correct

uhm, if that is the card size you have i would assume so. its about as long as a motherboard is wide.plus it's a gaming case, so i would assume that it would only fit the biggest of cards.
as per the cooler master global website HAF 922 has a approx card length space of about 300 mm

and the zotac website gives the dimensions of 9600gt as 13.26“ X 10.23“ X 2.67“
and 300mm is approx 11.7 " (inches)
that wouldn't fit
now what do i do

Best solution
cant be right. the card cannot possibly be 13 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 2.5 inches thick.
i think those are the dimentions of the box it comes in. makes a lot more sense..
looking at those pics of the case im pretty sure the card would fit easily!
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_9600gt_us....
the card shows as either 9 inches or 7.8
It fits!

• Width: 10.5in - 266.7mm
