I can't make up my mind on which tower to choose.  I have a choice from the coolmaster HAF and the 950si.  The two tower cases look cool but can't decide, I want the one that has better performance and best cooling like alot of fans and that has alot of room.  I know both of them have Intel i7 but there both telling me pick me, pick me. Telling myself I CAN'T DECIDE........Geek

you mean you can't decide between haf and the 950si.

950si is a couple of inches taller but does not have as much air flow as the haf has.

I recommend the HAF, for the money its the best case, the 950si is made more for liquid cooling, the haf stock can do both air and liquid cooling.

I went with the 950si case just because i like the simplistic look and overall design.

However i ended up spending about 168$ to make the airflow better.
 
So, basically its all about your preference and your budget, so if you want a case with great stock cooling performance then go with the HAF.

does the HAF run smooth and quiet or is that the 950si, because I don't like noisey PC.

the haf is a little loud with all of its fans if you want a quiet pc get the 950 with liquid cooling on the gpu and cpu  dont add any extra fans they will add noise.

you can turn down the fans but unless you want to liquid cool the CPU and GPUs, you are going to have fan noise, most of it coming from the fans of the GPUs themselves.
