WhenKittensATK Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Ugh I dislike the front panel look of HAF cases. Look too ugly and industrial. Then the NZXT Guardian looks like some flashy case you get from someplace like Cyberpower or Ibuypowerpc. Based on looks alone (since no link was provided to examine features), I vote neither.

sword_fish Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 there's enough room for huge cards with the HAF i guess, you can play around with it's HDD cage; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandreadstriker Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 But one of my friends have problem with 580 TFII & HAF912 advanced. Maybe you're talking about TFIII? The TFII should fit although very very tight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fogel Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 So many haters so I will stick up for the Guardian. I used it on my previous (C2D) build. Great mid-tower. If you don't want a huge dorky tower the Guardian is a good case and fits 10.5" video cards. It's looks are a lot more subtle than that picture suggests, but at the same time catches everyone's attention. The front door would be annoying if you're in and out of your BD/DVD/CD player a lot. Some of the front ports could be placed better but overall I really enjoyed working with the NZXT Guardian. I debated on using it again on my Sandy build. Though I'm glad I didn't ...mostly because the case fans are louder than I like. The MSI Lightning is 12" so that would be a problem. Never been a fan of the HAF series so if I had to fit a 12" card I would go to a completely different case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjj226_Angel Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 I will just give a list of cases that I think you should look into. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133196 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133183 (with rebate it comes down to your budget) (you could call newegg and ask when they are getting ore in store) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352010 (probably out of your price range, but it is a very well built case.) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146058 These are all well worth the look.
