Really fell in love with the 800D but the price is a killer! I'm torn between the Cm690II Advanced(then order in optional side window panel) Sniper black edition Haf X(if MB can get them in) Any other suggestions? I'm wanting inside black prefer dust filters as well. Will be upgrading in this case as well so H2O compatible may be in it's future yet who knows? |

cm690II Advanced cause of the room, case options and price. I would even say go with the Silverstone FT02 and steve-o mentioned in a previous post |

Hey, If you can wait abit and like the Corsair 800D you might want to check out the 600T. Its suppose to be out later this summer/fall for around $149 USD. Has alot of the feature the 800D has but with a smaller size and price tag. http://www.corsair.com/products/600t/default.aspx SideWinderDX |

the 690II advanced is the best bang for buck and it also has dust filters. |

the 600t is a snappy looking case, as for the space for the water loop, anything will fit in anything if you try hard enough, if your afraid to get dirty and risk it all you aint gonna get nothing! i just got a 320 rad mounted ON TOP of my 690 II adv. and it blends in well, as for lack of windows, go down to any home depot/kents/etc and get a window gasket kit and some acrylic/plexi glass and just make your own. remember to sand down edges, take your time and make it your own. |

I do internal water cooling or nothing at all. I'm no stranger to it for sure & can tell just by looking at a case what it can do & that 600t is to cramped for a half decent cooling setup. lest you fit in it is a double maybe 2 if you really tried & I want to go triple if anything. I'm now leaning towards the Sniper black edition also hmm |

I love my D800, hotswappable drives, tons of space, amazing cable management. But I like things neat and tidy, and the D800 laughs at cable management! Not to mention its more professional looking, sleek matte black. It is a steep price but you wont be buying one for awhile.. and lets be honest, its a wicked case, its aluminum i believe, so its fairly light. So far its been quite durable, lots of places for cooling. But its not the feint of heart in regards to your wallet. I liked the hotswap idea as I'll be using it for backup. But its probably the best purchase I've made in awhile, the backplate that clips off is great for installing cooling. Yeah I know you only do that like once.. but it's been so hassle free. Also comes with tons of extra screws, an extra rubbery grommet, as well as all of the 3 installed fans have grommets on them as well! But I think that was all covered in another thread now that I think about it.. |

As nice as the 800D is it's just to much money for me & not rugged looking enough lol I'm torn between the Sniper black ed & Haf X. |
