Not sure which case would be most suitable for me. I've been looking at the Coolermaster HAF 932 but have a few questions.

From the reviews I read, the fans are quiet but the sound dampening from the components inside is poor. I have a noisy Radeon 4870X2, will it be noisy if I use this case? Anyone with similar noisy dual cards such as the X2 and GTX285/295 using the HAF? What are your experiences?

And does it get dusty within the case? Is it possible to install dust filters onto the mesh?

Other than the HAF, any other case recommendations for a budget around RM400-RM600?

Thanks

I have a friend with a Lian Li A71. installed a 4870x2 full blast the fans. very noisy. i can imagine HAF without any sound dampening. must be noisy even at idle. but the big fan is not that noisy FYI. just that the component is noisy like the vga card and 120mm's.

Yes it can be dusty,i mean this case attracts more dust than usual.

besides HAF, i recommend cosmos 1000 for silent & powerful at the same time. LL is too expansive.

Hmm, I read that the Cosmos would not fit my Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme without removing the side fan.
Haih, what do you think of the Antec P182? Or maybe Lian Li?

Edit: Or maybe the CM Storm Sniper? Antec 900?

shudnt be any prob wif HAF932 la .
u can install dust filter if u want .
d front panel oso is removable .
for sound dampening im not sure . but d speaker sound will overcome d graphic card sound .
its not like ur gonna run d fan at 100% speed and/or using DELTA 220CFM fans rite ?

if ur using both of these , any casing also would create hellish machinery sound .
