I'd personally got for the carbide 400R , it's more spacious  than the 912 , more better cable management , a wider cpu retaining hole , and you can add more fans on the case compared to the HAF 912.
Also note that the 400R is more bigger than the HAF 912 and the main competitor is the CM 690/II.
not only what cmgan72 said , the advance comes with a 2.5 SSD Bracket in the top HDD Cage , it also comes with a GPU Retention bracket to support your graphics card and the finishing black interior.

So how much ah? The Carbide 400R? My budget below RM300. Don't want CM 690 please. laugh.gif Oh yea I forgot I'm talking about the HAF 912 Plus with black interior. blush.gif

Case with added sound dampening is harder to mod , since the manufacturer glues the dampening foam to the case pretty good.
And , i don't think theres this case in MY yet , not much seller bring it in.
Those 3 are the best for sound dampening.

Other than that , you need to mod your case with sound dampening foam to achieve the level of those case.

< RM900 with bundle isn't really <RM 900 on the casing. Many dealers can offer such option

You have to drill out the rivet from the top and bottom of the column. It will just fall off. You can secure it back with screws in the future.

considering to replace my cosmos with either these chassis, TJ07, TJ11 or cosmos 2. Want to know which one has better cable management? I like the idea having the wire connections running behind the mobo like cosmos 2 thus give cleaner looks on the topside. But cosmos 2 is as heavy as the first cosmos. Not to familiar with TJ07 or TJ11. Seen some review at some websites, still can't decide.

If you really serious on Water Cooling go for the TJ11. If not just go for TJ07 but TBH I am still have yet to find my TJ07 Idk why so hard to find sweat.gif GS section also hard find got window one... laugh.gif so I decided to go with Cosmos 2 yes it's damn heavy like pure steel laugh.gif

Hope that helps icon_rolleyes.gif

just notice this... being bz >>> on mod again... tongue.gif
will post some when finished, having as large as c2, with it massiveness, main good reason for choosing it is to maximize cooling. mod it with all u'r hearts out and why sets limits and bound to OEM's specs..well did they set limits ? maybe.. but they did not on COSMOS 2
...so modded it! tongue.gif there's no 2nd thought about that...

there's no need to mod anything just to accommodate a thick 360 rad with push pull fan setup or 2 slim type 360 on c2 bro, except if u'r using ax1200 psu... then there's a slight mod needed. But if u want something that looks really good then as usual a voiding warranty mod tongue.gif are necessary..
