Case for a gaming build

[charon711]

im planning on making a gaming rig within the next few months and im looking at cases at the moment.

my budget is under $150.

i want as many fans as i can get in it for the money and side window, black interior, and bottom mounted psu is a plus.

im currently looking at the Azza Hurican 2000 blue & NZXT Tempest EVO. any insight on these 2 cases would be much apreciated. also any suggestions for another case would be apreciated.

Antec 1200 V3 is good, so are the Antec DF series cases. HAF 932(newer one comes with a black interior)

I heard that the tempest wasn't well made. Go with the NZXT Phantom over that. You also have the HAF 932, LI LIAN K62 (awesome case), some thermaltake element cases, theres others and people can debate about it but it really up to you and what you think looks good. IMO the phantom and k62 have great functionality and look great

I've got HAF 932 and I'm pretty satisfied with it...great case for air-cooling systems by my mind....

 

[charon711]

doest the HAF 932 skimp on dust filters though?

 

[charon711]

bump

hows the dust filtering on the haf 932?

 

[cmcghee358]

You can buy dust filters. I'm pretty sure the big intake in the front comes with one.

 

[charon711]

actually i did some research and it comes with none. but with a $5 role of porch screen from a hardware store and some ingenuity you can make your own for it.

I own a HAF 932 and it doesn't come with dust filters but I don't have any trouble with dust on my rig, mostly because I watercool. I would recommend this case thoroughly

 

[charon711]

its definably at the top of my list, i just wish they had a advanced model with blue lights.

the only water cooling ill do is the Antec KUHLER H2O 920.

Haf 932 does not come with dust filters but the new ver the Haf X does come with them. all though the Haf X is a little out of the 150$ price range.

 

[charon711]

the haf x is actually my second choice if my budget goes up

 

[charon711]

i looked at the phantom for a while but my only real gripe about it is its missing a few of the fans it could have and there's no window... other than that its a nice case.

CM 690 II Advanced is good it comes with fans and dust filters with heps of room for more fans. You can get it with a window and its cheap.

HAF 922/932, CM 690II advanced, all amazing cases.
