Hello,

I am looking for a full atx case with lots of filters, good airflow and room for a radiator. Would be better if the psu was mounted bottom.

Any suggestion ?

I found this IN WIN Dragon Rider Black but I read it lacks filters.

Thank you.
 
Do you have any minimum requirements for 5.25" and/or 3.5" internal bays?
 
At least 2 external 5.25" and 3 internal 3.5"

get the dragon rider and make filters out of panty hose or something

Anyone ever tried doing their own filters ?
 
Have you looked at the CM HAF 932? It has good space for a radiator above the motherboard.
 
I found this : http://www.demcifilter.com/filters_how.php

Example with haf932 :

Apparently they make filters any size that you can snap to your case with magnets. This will be perfect for my needs.

What kind of budget are you working with? Are you interested in water cooling some time down the road? Will you be taking this PC case with you to LAN events? Do you want this PC case to be silent during operation? What kind of videocards are you running or plan to run (overall videocard length is an issue for some cases).

There's other things to consider as well, such as front mounted USB 3.0 ports, eSATA ports, removable hard drive cages, removable motherboard trays, motherboard board tray CPU cutouts, wire management cutouts, the list goes on and on.

There's a lot of considerations to make when making the decision to purchase a PC case. These questions, and others, should be answered before handing over your hard earned cash on a product that may or may not fit your needs.
 
I'd consider the 1200 if you are air cooling Haf X if you are going to wartercool sometime in the future. The Haf 932 doesn't have fan filters, but you can always buy some or make your own. By that time you'd be better off with just buying a Haf X.
 
Rosewill Thor is worth a look, very good reviews (professional) currently $150 free shipping -$15 discount with promo code. Room for radiator over motherboard, quiet fans, fan controler.
From mod sites. The blue furnace filters make very good fan filter material.
Someone add link to newegg, please.
