Default Looking for a full tower
everyone

I will be upgrading my case soon from the mid-tower in my sig. I would like a really spacious case with a decent set of features and one that can accommodate many future upgrades such as large PSU and watercooling setup.

my budget is $200 or less. so far i've checked out the:

1. Cosmos S
2. haf 932/922
3. CM Sniper


Which of these or anything else you know of should i spend my $$ on? I find case hunting a daunting task.

PS. I can only shop from Amazon.com

The Cosmos S is what I'd get, honestly.

It's the best looking case there, and its build quality is great.

It can take two 360 radiators internally too.

The Haf is a great case, but I'm not entirely sure on the cable management.
My friend has amazing cable management on his 932, but I'm not sure if he had to mod up the case to do it.

I actually got mine when it was on sale at Newegg for around $150 plus a free shipping code. I don't know about a price fall anytime soon.
