I found an Antec P180 last week on eBay for $60, I went ahead and got it, I figured this would make a good "Home Server" case, (currently using an Antec 300), but the more I researched the P180, I am thinking about using it as a gaming system. It will arrive on Monday.

Now, I just moved from an Antec 900 to a HAF 932, so I am thinking about take the HAF back, less then 30 days. Okay, so this is what I am running (or going to be)....

eVGA 780i with Q9650, CoolMaster COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus.

2 evga 650ti Boost 2Gb Cards in SLI
1 evga 8800GTs (320mb) for PhysX
8GB for XMS 800Mhz Ram
1 600GB WD VelociRaptor
1 300GB WD VelociRaptor
2 160Gb WD VelociRaptor
2 500GB WD GREEN
Antec TPQ-850

I am concerned about:

1. Room for GPUs,
2. Heat and good airflow.

Any comments or opinions, would be appreciated.

Don't bump posts. - G

I recieved the case yesterday, it is larger then I thought it would be, honestly, I expect a mid size case and I think I will used it as a server case, looking at the overall cooling, I think it best serve at a my home server case, I order 4 new cool master fans and I will be doing that change out this weekend. I have to agree, I think I will keep the HAF 922, I am considering the HAF932, instead if it goes on sale anytime within the next month.

I stated incorrectly, I moved to a 922, not a 932, but, I am thinking about the 932.
