Guys, need a little help here... Undecided between these few cases, which would be a better buy? rclxub.gif

1) Cooler Master HAF XM
2) Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced
3) Cooler Master HAF X
4) CM Storm Trooper
5) Corsair C70
6) Corsair 500R

My requirements:
1) ~RM500
2) Has side window (mesh/window combo is okay)
3) Easily removable dust filters
4) Roomie insides (full-tower is the best, but larger mid-tower also okay)
5) Cable management
6) Can fit tall air coolers with a height of 160mm, eg. Hyper 212 EVO
7) Water cooling friendly (in case I migrate from air cooling in the future)
8) USB3.0 ports and built-in fan controllers (not a must but nice to have)
9) Silent? I suppose this is a bonus tongue.gif

Don't like BitFenix's, Raven's, and Chaser MK-1's looks, so they are excluded... At the moment I'm leaning towards Trooper and HAF 932 Advanced.

Thanks!

I would choose CM Storm Trooper@Stryker.more clean looks,roomy..and it almost fills ur requirement

Stryker out of budget laugh.gif Trooper is good and I like the outlook, just worried whether the rubber will degrade over time and become sticky sweat.gif
