What Case should I Get?

[brolly]

Budged 100 € (150 USD)
I am OCing.

2 x Samsung Spinpoint F3
OCZ Agility 3 60GB
2500k
G.Skill RipJaws-X (F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM)
Sapphire Radeon HD 6950, 2GB
ASUS P8P67 Pro Rev 3.0
Noctua NH-D14 <- very big!
Corsair TX 650 v2


I was thinking about HAF922 or NZXT Tempest EVO, pref. the Tempest Evo because it comes with so many Fans already installed.
NH-D14 is fucking Big so i dont know if it will fit in the Tempest Evo.

I'm open for other cases as well, but please write an explanation WHY i should get the case you name.

I don't think it will fit in the Tempest Evo...
Never mind, it will, but it'll be a damn tight fit.

Noctua NH-D14 is 158 mm high, so 15.8 cm. The width of the case is 8.33 inches, which is 21.2 cm.
As an off topic, the US needs to convert to the metric system NOW.
Moving on. Realize that the motherboard is roughly 2 cm from the case with the standoffs attached. Ignoring motherboard width, the heatsink doesn't sit directly on the motherboard, so we'll say it's another 1 cm for total combined width of motherboard and height of CPU mount.

15.8 cm + 2 cm + 1 cm = 18.8 cm < 21.2 cm. You should be good. Careful of the fan on the side, as that could easily hit the heatsink.
My mathz should be right too...

Nice reason behind that. Care to explain why you made an account just to say that? >.>

Are you accounting for the motherboard tray being offset for back panel cable routing?

I actually just got my HAF 922 from newegg yesterday....and I have to say the thing is a monstrosity. It's huge. I'm not even kidding when I say it's at least twice as big as my old PoS system's case (running Micro BTX form factor >.> Gotta love Dell).

The Tempest EVO only really has .83 inches on the HAF 922 in terms of height and the HAF 922 is wider by 1.67 inches. The length is basically negligible. The width is what you might want to look at.

Also, the cable management system with the HAF 922 looks to be superior than the EVO.

I have the NZXT phantom and i love it would definitely recommend it comes with 4 case fans aswell

NCIX has Corsair Obsidian 800's on sale for $230 right now if you can afford a beast such as that.

Most of the math has been covered, and I would agree with the Tempest Evo.

I personally have a D/C'd case - the enermax Uber Chakra - I never have to worry about space, PLENTY of air flow in that bad boy. I also almost considered cutting the case and adding a top fan, if I ever did some extreme OC'ing or ended up using it for a server box.

going with the Tempest Evo then! thx for your imput
