What ? You can have both, a 200mm fan on the side + Cooler Master V10/V8...

Those measurements are as big as my HAF, but if you look at it, it is smaller. There is only one possible PSU location, and only 5 hard drive bays. I'm thinking they must be including those feet along with the height or something. It is as wide and long as a full tower, but not quite as tall. Maybe call it a large mid-tower.

Huh, I actually really like this case.

It's actually really functional.

Like the opening in the mobo tray where the cpu socket is. So no more removing the motherboard to change retention brackets.

How can people hate on how this case looks, then tell people to buy a HAF. The HAF is one of the ugliest cases on the market. It looks like a fisher price SUV.

Both the HAF and this case are ugly as sin, but they are very functional and that is the point. If I wanted a case for style and look I would grab a Lian Li. Otherwise I want something very functional.

QFT, well said.

Not with the door fan I have mounted blowing cool air directly into the area. My cpu temps at 4ghz never exceed 52c on any core.

HAF is slightly taller, and can fit a PSU either on top or at the bottom. HAF can also fit a 3x120 rad internally. HAF is full tower, Sniper is mid.

Cosmos still dwarfs them both though.

1 syllable vs. 3? It's quicker to say.
