Those HAF cases are awesome. I have a 922, myself.
One thing disappoints me though. AFIAK the only 200mm fans that fit the top of the case without modding are Coolermaster MegaFlow fans. These run about twenty dollars on newegg. The price I am not concerned with, what bothers me is they are only available with either red led or blue led lights. No non led version. I am not a fan of all sorts of lights on my cases. Heck I don't even like power lights on mine, which is why the power light on my HAF case has a piece of electrical tape over it.

The power buttons also broke with-in the first few months{It was an 80$ gamer case...I forget the model}.I think they are built using only one criteria....low cost.Repairing/altering one compared to say, an Antec 900 case, is well..ok you can't compare them..Antic knows what they are doing ;) yes I am a NZXT hateboy lol
edit:I go with an Antec or coolmaster

I will NEVER buy a NZXT,I like to take apart/mod cases and even tho I have only worked on 1 NZXT case that was enough for me.Also it was the cheapest built case I have seen to date.

Was it the NZXT Beta? I have that and it is currently sitting on a shelf in my laundry room with a broken power button.

I will look at those when I get home from work. Myself and I think ufans both use HAF series cases from Coolermaster. I am very happy with mine.
Love my Haf X case, haf x. Keeps everything supper cool, I run 2 5850's and they fit without problems. Great cable management. It comes with 1 230mm, 2 200mm, and 1 140mm fans with the options to add another 200mm fan on top. You can also add extra cooling for your video card. It has 2 hot swap drive bays and usb 3 connection up front. Price is a little high but it is well worth it IMO.
I have the same. And i love it. Higer prize,tho. But it will fit anything u put in it.
Sabo.

tet I'll check this weekend,when I built my brother in-laws comp he got a NZXT case.btw did the power button kinda brake off..and fall into the case?
The clips holding the button on broke once when I pressed it and it popped out. It DOES still work, but looks bad.

Yes the same thing happened to his case...along with one of the top fans stopped working after 3 months.I disassembled it and refastened that button{used some epoxy glue}.
Taking that case apart is a bit of a pain,you almost need to take your mother board out to do it......almost ;)
In contrast , I altered my Antec 900 case slightly {only used a screw driver/and 2 mins. time} to accommodate the extra HD cage fan and my long vid card.That and those 2 cases were the same price.
