I need help deciding between the HAF X or the Storm Trooper.
-Which is better for air cooling?
-Which has more drive bays? How many 5.25, 3.5, 2.5?
-Which has more space?
Which one should I get and why?

I recently bought a Storm Trooper, and tbh I love it, ive done a build in the HAF x and I like the storm trooper better, theres plently of room. My NH-D14 fits in NO problem! I upgraded from a storm sniper, and idk how i used that case...

I would go for the HAF X I have more than enough room to do whatever I want to do plus it is by far the best for air cooling.

I'd probably go HAF X as well, it's got massive potential for air cooling. With that said I don't think either will have any problems on room for anything, I'm pretty sure they both have enough room for any parts you could want. These are full towers these aren't small cases at all, if you don't have experience with Full towers you are agonn be amazed at how big they actually are.

The answer to all those questions is HAF - X but personally i would go with Storm Trooper cause i think it looks better and i liked the fan controller.
That said it really depends what kind of rig are you building , do you need all that space and cooling ?
Storm trooper is not really much worse in terms of air cooling just a little smaller.

I plan on building a gaming rid and eventually doing 2 way SLI. Is the HAF X really better?
