which case should i buy?

[omaryunus]

well i know this happens alot around here but mines kind of a special situation... for the decision please keep into mind that I will be watercooling my CPU later on once i can afford my WC setup... now onto the problem well I really like the HAF 932 but the thing is I am currently residing in Pakistan... well getting it shipped here would cost me another hundred dollars would the case be worth it?... thats one part of my dillema the other is the cases available here are pretty good most of the CM line is here and some random Asus cases are wish btw are sooo FUGLY!... they got stackers and cosmos but no HAF 932... so what would you go with out of this list (these are available in Pakistan with the prices at which they are available here)


CM 690 - $75
CM stacker 831 SE - $250
CM Stacker 830 Nvidia ed - $300
CM Cosmos S* - $250


*not really preferring this since ive already owned it and i wannt a somewhat new case

This is all compared to a $300 CM HAF 932

well the HW that is going into this would be:

MOBO: XFX 680i LT
CPU: E8400
Memory: 1 x 4GB OCZ DDR2 800
CPU cooler: zalman 7700cu (temp until i can afford my watercooling setup)
GPU: Force3D 4870
Drive 1: Blu ray Player
Drive 2: DVD burner
HDD1: 150GB velociraptor
HDD2: 500GB WD
HDD3: 500GB WD

and as for the WCing HW it will be:

RAD: Feser Dual 120
Pump: DDC3.2 w/ XSPC top (maybe res top)
CPU block: Fuzion V2
RES (maybe): micro-res

well there is all the info hopefully you guys can help me out with my problem and what would be the best case for me thanx :up:

Or you can consider Akasa Infiniti ZOR as a choice.

[omaryunus]

You can mount all your hardware in it including the radiator and hard drives which can be mounted in the front using a pair of Lian Li radiator mounts and MM hard drive mounts to mount your hard drives to the radiator (a radiator, hard drives, pump assembly).

The Haf 932 or a Tagan Black Pearl. The black pearl has more space at the bottom and more HDD bays. You can take out half the HDD bays and have the same amount of HDDs as in the Haf but also use that space for the pump. It also has space on top for hte rad like the Haf 932. It is basically a clone of a Lian Li v2000 with some tweaks.

Consider Antec 900 or 1200

Cosmos S is a good one too.

This is all compared to a $300 CM HAF 932


$300 for a HAF:eek2: I'll sell you mine for $250 shipped, if you live in the US.:D Then i'll go buy another for $160 and make some $$.

Oops, my bad. Just saw the Pakistan comment.

haha yea well basically saying the only viable option in Pakistan would be the Cosmos S but other than that I should spend the extra $100 - 150 on some other case ?? well if you were to choose form just that list what would you choose and what would your choice be in general?

HAF (but not a 300$ )
