Feel 'em up and see which you like best considering build quality, looks, cable management, dust filtration, and airflow. Seriously, I have no qualms about taking the case down from the shelf, pulling the panels off, etc etc.

I can only buy one. Not all :D harpsi

Ah, it makes it a little more difficult if they don't have them in stock. Well, I would say rule out the 912 and go either HAF X or 600T. Truly a bummer you can't find the 650D. They're all great cases. I would just go find a good solid review of each and let the photos win you over toward one case or the other. The vortez review sold me on the 650D. Perhaps their review on the HAF X and the 600T can do the same for you: HAF X review600T review Do you have access to the Fractal Design Arc cases?

Well, esthetics is not so important. The most important thing for me is a good case with good airflow to overclock my processor as far as it is possible. harpsiAnd memory? G.SKILL - Sniper DDR3 1600MHz 2x 4GB CL7 or Corsair 2133MHz CL9 2X4GB? harpsi

I would do the Corsair memory, but I wasn't aware they made a 2133 CL9 2x4GB set. Back to cases, the vortez review of the HAF X shows it to be slightly ahead of the 600T regarding airflow. I certainly wouldn't let it be the deciding factor, though. That sort of thing can always be improved by changing out case fans anyway.

You are corsair memory 2133MHz in your specifications :) harpsi

They're 2000MHz memory OC'd to 2133

AH, OK. I thought that I could not use 2000MHz memories into Asus Z68 Pro motherboard. Someone said here these memories can not be used... harpsi

They can be used if you overclock them

Not without either down clocking them to 1866 or overclocking them to 2133.

Very good. Anyway I will try 2133MHz CL9 from Corsair or, as a second option, 1600MHz CL7 from G. Skill. :) For the case, I was seeing both reviews and now I am thinking about Cooler Master HAF X. It has a lot of fans for airflow, maybe better than Corsair 600T. :) harpsi
