    The enforcer is a good case
    It's the same internals as the HAF912+ and it suffers from the same 2 minor issues.
    1 - front filter isn't great, it's a simple sheet of plastic with holes punched in it, but the holes are a bit large and there's a lot of plastic still there, it keeps fluff and pet hairs out but it's not so good for the very fine powdery dust.
    2 - hard drive anti-vibration isn't great, the rail system has some rubber pads to help absorb vibrations from the hard drives but they are not enough esp if you drive kick off a lot of vibration.
    The combination of my haf912 and my old WD 250gb hard drive causes the cages to vibrate which in turn causes the case to resonate so it makes a humming sound, which is louder than both the fans and drives combined.
    These are minor niggles.

    You could go for the 410 phantom instead http://www.scan.co.uk/products/nzxt-...-w-o-psu-windo

    or LanCool K63 http://www.scan.co.uk/products/lian-...x-side-window-

    I'd recommend getting the refurbished H100 from Ebuyer. It's only £60 and still comes with a full 5 year warranty.

    I'd post the link, but Hexus won't let me until I have 5 posts.

    That does seem like a really good option...none of the cases ive looked at would be able to house the fans I dont think though!

    I like your choices, but I personally wouldn't go for that case, It's a bit too flashy. I'm looking to buy a Fractal R4 mainly for the sound reduction and the fact my current one is terrible.
