[Solved] Unsolvable case?

I have narrowed down my choice of case to two options, determined by their availability in my area.

I am having a really hard time deciding, as they both seem to offer similar features at a similar price point:

1. COOLER MASTER HAF 912
2. Thermaltake Dokker (I would probably go for the "lite" version, as I have no need for the docking station)

Here is the rest of my build so far:
Part list permalink / Part price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor ($199.99 @ NCIX US)
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H60 74.4 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($63.24 @ Amazon)
Memory: Patriot Signature 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($36.99 @ Amazon)
Hard Drive: Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($88.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Video Card: PowerColor Radeon HD 6870 1GB Video Card ($159.34 @ Compuvest)
Power Supply: OCZ 600W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($49.99 @ Microcenter)
Total: $598.54

Thanks in advance!

*I am outside the U.S., so if you suggest a different case, it's probably not going to be available to me.

HAF 912 gets my vote.

CPU Cooler...I would go with air cooling over the H60. There are air coolers out there that cost less than the H60, cool better than the H80, and are more quiet than either. Thermalright Archon, Thermalright HR-02 Macho, Noctua NH-D14 to name a few. Great price/performance cooler right now Coolermaster Hyper 212+ EVO...good enough for a pretty high OC on the CPU your getting.

If you do end up getting the H60, then I would be prepared to replace the fans with something a bit more quiet....the stock fans are crap. I have an H80 and couldn't stand the noise.

I agree with the rest . go with haf . Everyone seems to like them as long as your good with the esthetics . I also agree to pass on the closed loop units ie. h80 . for the money the hyper212 evo ( $34.00 ) + approx $ 12.00 for xtra fan for push/pull your still at half the cost of the h80 with similar performance gains .

Those fans look pretty sweet, I will definitely look into them. I was planning to set up push/pull fans on the radiator and these seem great!

I see that there is a lot of support for the HAF 912! Aesthetics are not a big deal to me, so we're good on that note. However, I can't really discern any clear advantages besides it being more popular.

If I went with the HAF912, would you have any advice in regards to the fan setup to ensure optimal airflow?

Corsair recommends the radiator fans to be set as intake on the back, which means I will need an additional exhaust.

Do you think this would work?:
Rear (radiator) fans: 120mm intake (push/pull)
Front: 120mm intake
Top: 200mm (will it fit?) exhaust

Thanks, everyone, for your help. This would be my first build, so sorry if I am being verbose!

That's exactly how I would set up the airflow if I had those parts. H60 intake, 200mm exhaust up top, and 120mm intake on front. If you got 4 of those Yate Loon fans, then you'd have an extra 120mm to add as intake for the GPU.

Edit: To clarify...the extra 120mm could be used as an intake on the side panel...blowing onto the GPU.

And yes, a 200mm fan will fit on the top of the HAF, but , I'd advise against it... use 2 x 120mm ones if you the H60 Rad pulling air into the case from the rear, use 2 fans for the top exhaust.

Yup, the 200mm will not fit onto the rad..... that is a problem.... but you'll be fine with 2 x 120mm Exhausts on top.
They will be good enough as the only exhausts there, you won't need additional exhausts.
No, the PSU should be left as it is, don't mess with that.
