Lot of antec 1200 fan boys here.
The CM 690 deserves an honourable mention, it has good cooling and is tool free. And it has a nice layout such as the easy access to hard drives. Also comes with 3 x 120 mm fans, one blue led fan at front.

Ok... To settle this once and for all:



HAF 932 is BETTER than a 1200 ON AIR STOCK. If you put in better fans it will only be that much *MORE* of an improvement over the 1200.

How is the case ambient lower but the component temperatures higher? Is there any other review to go off of? That one seems...questionable. Have to remember that the HAF doesn't have dust filters either.

My 1200 with the 2 optional fans (total of 8!!!) helps keeping my rig cool and the ambient temp here is a high 33*C/92*F.

I like simplicity, if I can get good temps off stock I'm happy...having to mod anything to get the same good temps are bleh. IMHO.

Bad choice, should have gone caseless. Best air cooling solution

Didja buy 2 more 120mm fans? For the internal fan mount and the side mount.

Well, the side mount blows air on your GPU...and the internal one can be moved to any slot in the HDD cases (Bottom for PSU/Middle for GPU/Top for CPU)
