Get the HAF 912, it a good case with good cooling/airflow, and it's at 39.99$ after mir.
There's also a good alternative, like the Corsair 200R : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139018

isnt the rosewill one good and how is the corsairs? i need more fans inside x;

 

[djangoringo]

The HAF 912 is superior.
The corsair for a budget solid case.

 

[taran11]

it has like 3 fans tho shud i order more for HAF?

why use a mid tower when you have an m-ATX motherboard?

 

[taran11]

[taran11]

The size of your case wont make any difference to cooling , but a bad case is a bad case . Your pic shows small fans and a not much room
What are your temps?

The HAF is a good case and it will work well

But if you want to stay with a smaller case then the TJ 08e will cool as well as any

 

[djangoringo]

The HAF 912 supports matx, it's a good case, you'll have good airflow and space.
And what's best you'll have a case for future builds, that case is very solid.

okay thanks it dosen't matter if it have like 3 fans like the rosewill link i put up right? im geussing everyone is saying get the HAF one even tho it has 1 or 2 fans its better?

the Haf 912 has more room to fit stuff in, the Challenger will probably run cooler at stock, stuff.

In my opinion, if you plan on having alot of internal drives, pick the challenger
Cooling at stock, Challenger
Size advantage - haf 912
Modability - haf 912(ive seen some decent mods with the case)

if you have one drive, I would recommend the HAF then. You dont need the 120mm fan, the difference between ambient temperatures in the case will be at the most a few degrees off on a bad day. Purchase one when you think you need one.

edit: i just remembered, the 912 has more drive bays, i forgot the middle section was removable.

 

[taran11]

thanks alot i will order the haf 912
