I really like the Cooler Master HAF X looks nice and has good reviews.. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

What size is your motherboard out of curiosity? And ChadMc that link is for the us and its over budget too.

It's a Micro-ATX (9.6 x 9.6 inches)

I may be mistaken but aren't most of those you chose Full tower cases? With a Micro-ATX board you will have a silly amount of room to spare when you fit everything as full towers are huge.

Have you considered a Mid Tower case? The HAF X's baby brother the HAF912 Plus i have experience with, and the airflow is great on that one, due to the size too it'll be cheaper.

I was thinking if I wanted to change motherboard in the future. but does the motherboard have any affect on how the computer performs?

So what would be better NZXT Phantom 410 or HAF912. I really like the look of the 410 and it would be nice to have a window. but if the HAF912 is better then I might as well go for that.

I wouldn't be able to comment on the performance of the NZXT, however my styling preference is more rough boxy style hence me owning a HAF912. The HAF range stands for High Air Flow but i guess you'd have to decide which one you prefer from looking at the case and reviews.

The size of the motherboard, no. However different motherboards offer different things and a HAF i know can take up to an ATX which is a popular size. There is a size bigger an eATX i believe but i haven't seen many of those.

I own a nzxt and they are pretty amazing looks and performance wise mine blows out cold air while on bf3 with only 1 extra fan

Mines the gun metal 410 if I was you I'd get one ;)

I think I might go for the 410 after what HIV said.

Thanks for the help.
