Best Air Cooling Case
After doing some research, it seems the most predominate air cooling cases are:
__________________-HAF 922 -HAF 932 -CM 690 -Antec 1200 -CM storm sniper This computer will be mostly used for gaming, planning to possibly SLI some of the newer/bigger cards in the future. Which would recommend to overclock an I7 and keep me cool. Feel free to add the list as well! Any helpful responses +rep

Right off the bat antec 1200 wins, but if ya use 120mm fans with the Haf-932 it definitely will cool better than the antec 1200. My vote is Haf-932 has better cooling than 1200 if ya use 120mm fans + more space

Stock:
- Antec 1200 - Storm Sniper Black Edition Custom fans: (Although these cases probably better for WC) - HAF 932 - ATCS 840 - Cosmos S In my opinion and from what I've seen, these 5 cases are some of if not the most popular cases at the moment. All have great build quality and features, it just comes down to choosing the one that best suits your system and budget. Personally I'm going to get the Sniper Black Edition for my next build as I want a great air-cooling case with excellent cable management, fan control, and tool-less features.

Either the HAF or the 1200. Both cases need new fans to really shine though. I would expect my 1200, with my fan selection to keep up with a HAF with 120mm fans.

get the HAF the antec 1200 doesn't supply enough air for the GFX cards so get a HAF 932 and replace the fan on the side with 4 120mm fans
most people think the 1200 but these are two different case the air flow is delivered differently so some systems will benefit in the 1200 and some in the HAF 932

If you don't replace any fans, etc., these two cases win: Antec 1200 and CoolerMaster Storm Sniper.
I believe that the HAF pulls ahead if you replace the 230mm fans with 4 120mm fans, but when you do that, you're going to end up spending quite a lot of money on fans, so it's probably not worth it. Also, the Antec 1200's BigBoy fan has the best CFM/dB ratio of any fan.

Does anyone support the HAF 922? The 932 is just so ugly
