Hi everyone,
I've been researching and researching about which case would work best for my purposes, and I've come to the conclusion that my choice is between the HAF 922, the 500r, and the C70.
Which case would you guys recommend? I plan to put an MSI GTX 760 Gaming in my rig, so I'm looking for about 10.5" of clearance for the graphics card at least. I don't think this should be a problem in any of these cases, but in case you guys want to throw out a few suggestions of your own, that should be considered.
I did choose these cases because I really like their styling, and Newegg has a sale on each of these cases right now so I'd like to make a decision soon.
Thanks!
The Corsair 500R has my vote. I much prefer the cable management options it offers over the HAF 922. And I like that it offers support for a 200mm fan. This should help airflow immensely.
I agree with you about the cable management features of the 500r. However, doesn't the 922 come preinstalled with two 200mm fans?
500r or the c70 I would say what ever one you thinks looks cooler I like the black 500r but my freind like the c70 they both have good cable management and are qulity cases. Also consider the fractal design r4 windowed its a quite case with noise dampening material but if your foucus is air flow stick with the c70 and 500r.

Yes, the HAF 922 also supports 200mm fans, but if the cable management is anything similar to the HAF 912, I wouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole. And judging from pics of the insides, it doesn't have a whole lot going for it as far as cable management is concerned.
500r or C70 right away, I always felt Cooler Master cases to plasticky, thus they don't have fan filters on the intake fans.
