Urgent HAF X vs Storm Trooper

[lego_95]

Since i am running a decent gaming rig: i5 2500k 4.5 ghz, noctua nh c14, cooler master extreme power plus 700w, ocz vertex 3 60gb, intel 330 128 gb, samsung 500 gb hdd, msi z68 g43 b3, evga gtx 670

What will be the ideal case for this rig? i may upgrade mb soon so i can run a SLI of gtx 670 !

Here the ambient temps are: 26-32c so its important that the case will give me enough cooling!

The HAF X and the Storm Trooper both have a good cooling perfomance, any decent case will cool that hardware, out of the two you've listed just go for the case you think looks better

Id say the hafx is a little dated now tbh

have to agree with Tom the HafX while a great case is dated I'd go with the Trooper or Stryker. Or my personal favorite the Switch 810

i have a Cooler Master HAF case, its a good case to keep your rig cool, mine sucks up a S*** load of dust, it could be used as a hoover. id go for a storm trooper, but get a window side panel, otherwise you might get a dust problem like me.

I also have the CM haf x and love it, tho it is true it gathers a considerable amount of dust. I would go for a stryker or the 810.

seems you guys need some more powerful fans to boost internal pressure
a bit.. or are the filters missing? if the balance is a lil positive, there shouldn't
be dust.. try running your exhaust as an intake fan.. it does have alot of mesh

i dont think its a pressure issue, they running 600rpm on 230mm fans or 220, cant remember, and changing the exhaust and intake wont change anything, i use the top and back fan to exhaust so running other way wouldnt change anything. fans just suck in the dust threw the side panel fan, cant be helped really.
