Well you go from a case that's $40 to one that's $160. If you don't have a budget, like chupacabra said, get the Antec 900, but if you do have a budget, just let people know what it is and they'll help find one for you.

So I went with the HAF 922 case, I saw under the website of Cooler Master that on the HAF 922, there is an additional two 200MM fans i can add, one on side, one on bottom. I'm very novice when it comes to installing anything, never have touched the inside of a computer in my life. What will be required when installing a side fan and bottom fan? Any wire connecting?

Will I need to buy static free gloves? Also, Should I have them as exhaust fans or just fans blowing air?

Click to expand...

Static free gloves aren't needed, lol, the amount of rubbish I have put gear through and had it still work...

Just be sensible about it though, earth yourself on something large and metal first, don't rub yourself with balloons, don't palm any of the boards and don't put your elbow through your motherboard. (that last one isn't static damage)


As for fan direction I read that top fans are good to be exhaust for greater throughput. Though in all honesty I don't think it will matter much :)
