What do you think?

So, what do you think about these items:

http://ncix.com/products/index.php?s...e=COOLERMASTER

http://ncix.com/products/index.php?s...y&promoid=1219

I want to go from my antec 900 to a larger full tower case, I love this antec but there is something about that coolermaster that drags me in :P Now, I'm not too sure on what power supply to go with, I want a strong power supply that can handle xfire 5850's and give me alot of length/options for cable management. Im not up on power supplies all that much, I want a ps with long cables that will make do in a full tower case ( if not long, can you buy extensions for all of it?). I def want something modular of course and something that will last me. Some kingwin's have also caught my eye, but I wanna ask the community to see what you peeps have to say.

EDIT: Water cooling maybe be something I may invest in the future as well.

If you like the coolermaster cases have a look at the cosmos S its a bit more than the haf but its a great case to use.

The only bad point that some of my friends down like is that it has no hard drive bays, but it comes with a 3x 5.25" to 4x 3.5" cage that you can put anywere in the front that you like.

Its not a major bad point but some may not like it.

Hey you can PM the HX650w down to $117.99

It's Corsair with 7YR warranty

It Will leave that OCZ in the dust.

I had originally opted for the HX850 but because stock was non existent I dropped down to the HX750.

I won't be able to speak personally about it yet other than the box is HEAVY.

My current build is on hold waiting for parts to be released but from the Review on here along with several others Crossfire is possible without breaking a sweat.

They'll be fine for crossfire, unless you want to run a pair of 5970s, overclocked with a big quad core processor. The 750 is an absolute work of genius, silent, really easy to cable manage and oozes quality. Plus its voltages and ripples are awesome. Can't praise that 750 highly enough.
