Noob! I been done had that

I had to paint so I ran to my pooter when I heard the news.

Sorry about last night. After I ate, I laid down on the couch and fell asleep. My bad, bruf.

I think I like the haf 912. Want to stick around the 60ish price range.

You haven't regretted cheaping out on your life so I'm sure I'll be fine.

HAF 912 ain't bad. I had the taller, sexier version of it (HAF 932). It's pretty basic, but sturdy and easy to add/remove stuff.

I've just used a lot of different cases, mostly back when I did builds for customers more often. I'd let them choose a case (with compatibility parameters). There have been quite a few that have surprised me -- cheap ones with good build quality, and expensive ones that were horrible to work with. Like this Antec 900: LINK

If you sort mid-towers by rating at newegg, it's at the top, but I'm guessing it's because that case has been around for what seems like a decade, and the masses flock to Antec because once upon a time they were the best for cases and power supplies. For a $100 case, it has some serious annoyances that you wouldn't even see in some $40 cases. For one, it has a gray steel interior paired with a black exterior (fine for an OEM-style case, but not for one with LEDs and an acrylic window). Also, little to no space behind the motherboard tray for wire management, and front-to-back style 3.5" bays in which you have to be careful where you mount the HDDs or else a full-size graphics card won't fit.

You look like you're from 2002
