Looking to upgrade my case.

[35g700]

I've gotten sick of my CoolerMaster Centurion 590. I can't stand the hard drive bay and the air flow around my CPU isn't very good which is causing problems overclocking.

I've been out of the loop for a while, but I remember that one of the best cases on the market when I was in the loop was the Antec 900, however I've also heard good things about the CoolerMaster HAF. I'm not sure what case I should get but I need to have better air flow around the mosfets near my CPU because currently they get to hot and cause my OC to be unstable.

Thanks for the help

Budget?

I'd have to say no more than $150.

2 top 140mm fans should cool your mosfets well.

So far I like the HAF 932, the Antec DF-85, and the Lian-Li case that Fat.Clown suggested. I just wish I lived near some computer store that I could go to and actually look at the cases in person. Has anyone had any experience with either of the three cases?

I have the HAF 932 and I love it, don't get me wrong it is big (full tower) but it holds everything I have in there and it keeps it cool.
My place is crazy hot and still everything runs at respectable temps.
I don't have experience with the other ones but I love my case and if you have the room, I say go for it

 

[Jagged.Edge]

Yeah, I'd definitely go with the HAF series. I recently purchased the HAF X, but I'm still awaiting for it to arrive >.>

ii'd personally go with Antec. the wiring management is a bit annoying, but totally worth the hassle. don't get me wrong, its a great system, i'm just impatient xP. LED's bother me a bit, and i don't really have an SSD to fully utilize the SSD hotspot at the top... the 7 fans keep it cool. my AMD phenom II x4 B55 OC 4.7Ghz is running at 48 degrees C. full load about 58. it's a bit hot but for the chip it's quite amazing. And, i just like the way Antec just made it. the Antec just looks so sexy compared to the HAF 932.
