I'm looking to buy a Corsair H100 and adding 4 more fans to my case, and this HAF 912 isn't going to cut it I'm afraid. Which one of these cases should I get? Is the HAF X the better choice for being only $20ish more or is it just really really huge?

Also, will a 520w psu power the H100 or is it pushing it?

The HAF X is wider, has more space, and supports more watercooling. Definitely get the HAF X

A 520W psu is fine. The h100 doesn't draw that much power at all, so 520W is fine.

I don't know if a cable was bad or not but it had trouble powering all my fans so I'm currently only using 3 fans in the 912.
