Default Case with good airflow using stock fans
Hi guys,

I'm helping out a friend with a new build and need a case recommendation.

Looking for a case with good airflow using only stock fans. Cable management is a must.

Price needs to be $200 or lower.

Doesn't matter.

It will be air cooling only so no need for radiator space or anything.

The Antec 900 or the HAF 932 are decent contenders.

The HAF 932 is about as good as they come, 3x230mm craziness and 1x140mm stock.
