    Right i'm looking for a new case, I will be using Air Cooling and cooling is my main reason for getting a new case.

    I'm looking around the < £130 mark.

    Basically the top price would be what i can get a Antec 1200 for.

    I'm partial to saving abit of Money by going for the 902 but have a little reservations about whether the size will prove a hinderance in the next year or so with me considering a full mobo/ram/processor/gfx overhaul within the next year. I also have an xtreme gamer soundcard.

    The Haf 932 i find fugly.

    Are there any other alts?

    Well depends what your looking for... considering you listed the 1200 in your original post I'm guessing you value overclocking ability over noise. Personally I'm about to go with the p183 (with the extra fans fitted it provides good cooling and low noise). But for yourself the 1200 or 902are going to be the best options.

    As for space the 902 should be more than big enough for nearly any overhaul, unless your planning something crazy like dual socket mobo and tri sli at the same time.

    i've got Antec p182, it's got less space than 902 no doubt. and with quite a few motherboard re-install, 3 graphics update, 2 RAM update without removing motherboard; i never found my case to be too small.

    go for 902 if you like the looks of it. it's a great case.

    Hmm if the 902 will be big enough then i think thatll be the best option. Tho when at lan i will feel like one of the horde as everyone has them! But hey, that's a testament to its quality i imagine!
