Is this a good case?

[refmon]

I was going to buy this case

but I found another that went on sale

Both are good cases, the Mk might be better due to the 932 having to use a 5.25" adapter plate to add usb3 ports.

 

[iceclock]

the mk looks sweet. u get my pick

 

[refmon]

How about the first one?

 

[payturr]

HAF 932 for days, man. It's a monster if you plan to watercool.

 

[refmon]

Great, I am going to need water cooling and this might be unrelated but cosair h70 or h100?

 

[iceclock]

h100 or h80i no 70 for me.

haf932 is nice also.

 

[rufus_22]

Given the choices I'd go with the HAF 932 , as for the cooler ... either the 80 or 100i although there are potentially better things on the horizon eg. the swiftech h-220 ..........THIS

 

[iceclock]

dunno. swiftech 220 is good, but not that much better than than 80i or 100i.

also its 320$. versus 100$

kind of big price difference.

 

[rufus_22]

$139.00 actually ... The promo shows it with better cooling performance , lower dba and better reliability at 60,000 hours . Its expandable and the pump is much stronger @ 6 watts rather than the 1.2 watts of the other offerings . To that I must admit that the performance will be determined at release .. late feb ..

300$

Definitely choose the HAF. I've got the 932 Black Edition with a WC loop for the cpu and vga, along with a dual bay res, and it's got nice room to expand in addition to what I already have. I can also tell you the the high air flow (HAF) really does work well in this case, which is more important if you don't water cool.

 

[iceclock]

sounds good

300$

different product .. your listing a different system ....$139.00

 

[iceclock]

oh.

meh noctua dh-14. thermalright silver-arrow. xigmatek dark-night-2. thermal-right venomx-

mux-120. tuniq xtreme 120. all good coolers just as good as the swiftech. dont forget there using air to cool unlike a custom water cooling system

 

[rufus_22]

The noctua is hands down the best air cooler on the market . The 212 evo is likely the best value , the h-220 I'm expecting will be the best AIO cooler for the short term anyways but if ya want a custom loop at a good price the Raystorm rx 240 is hard to beat ... if ya have two 5.25 bays available for the res ... IMHO

 

[iceclock]

ya well still its more work than just seting up an aircooler.

 

[rufus_22]

ya well still its more work than just seting up an aircooler.

I agree with you completely on that . I still havn't worked up the courage to install a potential water bomb in my rig

 

[iceclock]

for me air does the job. when it wont anymore than ill consider a custom loop.

 

[risso]

once you go water, you'll never go back!

 

[iceclock]

yes so they said.

 

[rufus_22]

Agreed .. when the original sticker shock wears off and I'm feeling brave I'll go with a custom loop

 

[iceclock]

eh also 400$ for a basic water cooling system. of quality.

id have to get it professionaly installed no way im doing that lol

 

[rufus_22]

I have alot of trade skills so not worried about that end . Just the thought of my rig in a puddle ... $$$$$$$

 

[iceclock]

well my skills sucks for mounting stuff sadly lol
