Well, I can say I've never had an issue with any CoolerMaster, and I've used a few of them. Only thing I advise is to buy some filters ( couple bucks ) for the fans if you have dust trouble, 'cause those cases can suck in alot of dust with the amount of airflow they get. I usually filter all my fans regardless of te case, though. But you'll have room for everything you could throw in it with space to spare. Really nice if you're going with a watercooling setup.

Well, to be honest, I am leaning more towards the CoolerMaster. As far as the filters, oh yeah, I'm a smoker, so it is a must. Plus alot of canned air.
The reason I asked, is that between the two, I really can't see a difference between the two besides overall size and price. the HAF seems to have very good stock cooling, and I can't really see spending another $300+ for a slightly larger case. Unless someone can convince me otherwise.
Thanks for the response.

The ABS Canyon is a premium case. It offers slightly better cooling then the Coolermaster HAF, however, its layout will most likely be annoying. The problem with the coolermaster case is that its too open, too much dust accumulation. I would put the ABS Canyon in the same realm as a Thermaltake Sword Case. Both designed just for the luxury of it but offers no real advantage.
After seeing this round of cases, I would go with a Thermaltake Xaser IV or Armor+. The reason being because of how their water cooling is setup.

Antec 1200! Also comes with filters, holes for water cooling,cable management, Duel 120mm rear fans works well wit Duel 120mm radiators and mounts right on the back,Antec sells a 240mm radiator that will sit under that 240mm top fan. also you can use another duel 120mm radiator in the bottom 2 front fans (lower 2 Drive bays) You would have enought water cooling for everything.Chipset, gpu"s,Cpu
I have been looking at this case and doing some mods to it. Like having all the fans blowing out thu the radiators, putting a 15"(round) x 2" or 3" (thick} K&N filter in the side window(for filtered air intake). you know...the "CARB" ones...with the chrome cover and stuff..and paint with a Nascar theme.Hands down....the best case for the money!
