PC Peripherals Cooler Master Full Tower Suggestions Needed!

Looks like I'm leaning towards the HAF 932 or the Antec 1200. I really liked all the HDD fans upfront for the Antec 1200, looks very neat indeed.
 
Right saw quite a few reviews on Youtube and read some after googling. The thing is the most deterrent factor for the HAF 932 is the lack of filters. But I generally tend to clean my towers every month atleast twice so I guess the dust accumulation would be under control.

The Antec 1200 seems a very worthy contender here. Looking at the removable HDD bays, all the dust filters, grounding point and the cooling in this case it's a tough call not to go with this one. It's also pretty sleek looking, I really like the looks of this cabby.

So, given a choice which should I invest in? One more thing is, if I replace the 230mm side panel fan of the HAF 932 and replace them with 4 X 120mm fans would it hamper the cooling in any way? Also, does the HAF 932 come with a on/off button for the front red LED fan (like the CM Storm Scout)? I keep my PC on at nights and I would like to switch off the red glow on that fan at night.

buy Antec 1200

if you replace the 230mm side panel fan of the HAF 932 with 4 X 120mm fans it won't hamper cooling it'll make it better & you can't switch off the red led on that fan at night :)
 
Antec 1200 has everything. LED on/off, 6 LED 120mm fans, fan controllers, looks and the black interior.

Only thing it lacks is space. It is a bit smaller than most full towers and can't take a E-ATX mobo. It can still fit 3 GTX295s no problem.

Okay. Btw, I called MD Computers and they don't have the HAF 932 in stock...uugh! Vedant can only tell me tomorrow if they have stock. Any other shop in Kolkata selling the HAF 932?

Also... just wonderding if the 230mm top fan of the Antec 1200 be changed to a 120mm or is it non-modular?

Umm... where exactly are the LED On/Off switch on the Antec 1200? I know they have fan controllers at the frontal mesh for the front LED fans and a rear fan controller... but the LED On/Off button?

I guess the HAF 932 beats the Antec 1200 in terms of depth and width of the chassis but the Antec 1200 is taller than the HAF 932. Also the Antec weighs a bit more than the HAF 932.

Okay... many thanks for the info with the contact numbers. Err.... isn't the mobile phone number for Top Notch you provided is only 9 numbers, shouldn't it be 10?

So, if the top fan of the Antec 1200 can't be changed and is fixed what if it dies somehow, then what happens? I surely can't get a 230mm fan replacement! :huh:
 
dude if u like the 120 led fan on the 1200 [5.25 bay area]

Personally I don't really like the CM ATCS 840. Looks very bland, don't think I'll grow into liking it with time. :no:

i agree with you on that but one has to choose between the two either performance or looks.:D
 
So do you look at the case when you are using the the computer instead of the screen. And everybody has there own choose if the want something pep or bland.
