Cooler master HAF 932 vs. cooler master HAF X

Last response: in Systems

Hi guys, i'm having some difficulty choosing my pc case for my new build. its going to be running constantly and mostly used for gaming with some ocing. i've gotten most of the parts narrowed down.
i'm hoping to get some feedback on the cases since i've looked into them and i'm leaning toward the HAF X case but i really don't like the fact that u have to run the usb 3.0 front connectors through the back of the case and connect them via the i/o ports on the motherboard.

my rig config is as follows.

All cases with front USB 3 must run it through the back of the case since there is on cases out there right now makes them with the internal headers.
HAF-X supports XL-ATX and has a extra rubber grommet hole for passing the USB 3
to the back side.

Cases make little to no difference, generally speaking.

Any mid or full tower ATX case would be able to house your build (keep an eye on case width with that Hyper 212+ though because that things huge!).

Generally, just go with a case you like. If you prefer the HAF X over the 932, get the HAF X. If you prefer the 932, go for that. They will both be more than big enough to fit all your components and are both good quality cases.

+1. The case is the one part that you get to choose almost entirely based on cosmetics. The Hyper 212+ will fit in most mid towers, so no real need to be concerned.

If you go on the CM website, you can ask for the header adapter (which is a 4" header to 2x USB 3.0 female adapter) and they will send it to you for free (at least in North America).

I decided to go for the HAF X because I like to have room in my tower to play with and the option to have a 3x120 radiator mounted internally if I ever switch to WC.
