I need help deciding a case, I know it goes down to personal preference, but would appreciate the suggestions and the "do" and "don't do".. I want a case that accomodate a triple rad with little to no modification. Cosmos S vs HAF 932. Cosmos S can accomodate it, the HAF I'd just to have to take off the plastic piece on the top, and then I can accomodate 3 fans, and hence mount a radiator up there. Trying to decide if the Cosmos is worth the extra $100 on top of the HAF 932, which is also a very nice case, and lots of airflow, also good cable management.

I've seen some photos of a 320 in the HAFF- so they do fit at least .

Well as I said sswilson, little modding. Death_Hawk I believe was able to install one, on ncix there is a thread started by him, he was able to install it. So it has been done, and I do believe you on the cable management, but you can't deny that the cable management on the HAF is also pretty good. That is why I needed help deciding between the two, because both of them are well built.

I know, but I'd have to mod it to fit a triple thread, unless your willing to cut holes for me on the top, because I got no time these days and weather's getting bad everyday!!..

Not sure about the other case, but the Cosmos S is very nice, and pretty good quality

Out of the two i would go with the Cosmos S on the basis of easy install of a 320 rad. Plus one for the Cosmos S. If you want to have a more in depth look of the Cosmos S have a look at either SSwilson's log or mine of the Cosmos S :)
