if TS don't mind cleaning the interior from dust every now and then, HAF series is the way to go. The airflow is second to none and the look is amazing. but the problem come in is dust dust and dust...
try it, i bet you want to break the case into two. It make the all beautiful mid tower case look like a joke. Scout is smaller than CM690 in term of form factor and CM690 barely fit HD5870 sacrificing the whole slot hence the airflow. do the math with scout.

what casing also got dust come in..just depend on ts hardworking or not

I would not say in a few days time, i clean my casing once per month on average (or twice or thrice when i am dead bored). and there are not so many dust to wipe actually. but i got a good tendency to see dust here and there stuck on the mesh grill, especially on the larger holes. Get a smaller mosquito net like mesh grill and install it between the fan and the large mesh grill and you are good to go.
*
u mean the mesh grill at the side panel??
how about top??
although is exhause but when u switch off the fan sure got dust come down..did u use any filter or wad to avoid it?

Hi, am planning to outfit this rig into a casing but I'm looking for the proper one to go:

CPU: Intel i7 920
MOBO: MSI X58 Pro-E
GPU: HD5870 or HD5850 (maybe crossfire later on)
PSU: Odin 800W

Was looking through a few designs but can't decide on which:
1. Coolermaster HAF 922 or
2. Lancool PC K-62 (seems to be the "in" thing atm)
3. Any other suggestions??

I would like to have good air-cooling and may want to add water cooling in the future. Design must also be "cool".  brows.gif

Also, can you advice as to any additional fans to be installed for proper cooling in the case? I like LED fans too.  drool.gif

Thanks.

your case is almost same with me..i choosed 922 but now some ppl cursed me to take haf932 unsure.gif

Better air flow system? The storm scout front panel there features 4 usb ports, yet the casing looks attractive. That's why it gave me a headache issue there.

690 II Advance. Hmm tongue.gif Too bad it doesn't come with side window. Haih. Don't feel like doing the modification sad.gif

CM 690II Advanced got side window version

mind to tell me what is the feature that i should consider?
i already google both casing plus watch it at utube..but at the end..it only make me greedy.. tongue.gif

i consider scout coz it has handle..
but i also consider k62 bcoz it looks like it has more space..but quiet heavy

help me guys...im afraid i will interested in more casing  laugh.gif

If you planing to go LAN party..then u can cosider abt taking scout...
K62 is more tough compared to scout while scout is more fragile due to most of the parts is abs plastic to reduce it weight,
so u can take it move around...
And K62 got more space to fit in large size Graphic card
