Easily Haf-932. Best of both worlds in my opinion. If going strictly watercooling then it would be a different story, because both the Haf-932 and Corsair 800D do an amazing job at watercooling. Haf-932 has great air cooling as well as room for watercooling. The fans are large and quiet yet move a good amount of air. You can go 120mm fans as well and they do a great job as well. Have had my Haf-932 for 7 months and its easily the best case I've owned yet. 800D doesn't have that great of air cooling, but it's great with watercooling. In my opinion if it was priced a bit lower it would be a good buy, but for its price range I think I can find a little better.

Go for the Obsidian, the best looking case by far too IMO

Yup, ordered mine today for $85 as well. The Corsair is nice, but if your not watercooling, then theres no reason to spend 300 bucks on a case that isn't good for air. Plus, if you're really picky about the inside color, you could take it to a local store and get it powder coated for probably $50. And if you buy it tonight and get it powder coated for like 50 bucks, it's still just $135 which is still cheaper than what it normally sells for.

Or if you wanna wait I would get the Tempest Evo, it has a nice black finish, tons of fans, nice cable management and a nice big window. Plus it's only $109 on newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-062-_-Product |

what does having the interior powder coated do? Not dissing, I just don't know other than it doesn't scratch easy, I can see why on bicycle frames, but curious to why inside cases.

I have had both and think the fans in both suck, I replaced all the HAF fans and I will replace all the Corsiars fans. I am going to remove window and replace it with mesh. The windows is attached with threaded rod welded to the side panel. I will then add fans to the mesh for the video card. Honestly I would rather have no fans included with higher end cases because I rather pick the ones that I use, I realize people would complain but I rather have $25 that fans that go in a spare parts bin. I like the Corsair over the HAF932. When the 932 came out there was a lot of negative feeling towards it and now its very popular, the 800D may never be as popular because its more expensive but it is powder coated where as the 932 isnt. |
