ok guys,after HOURS of hard work,i have decided on the Xigmatek Utgard.
Now i should mention first that Hafx is an epic case,its great on its own but when compared with utgard,its nothing special.
Utgard comes with a lot of options just like Hafx but the little things like the fans and the 2 fan controllers and the complete toll-less design along with the removable dust filter at the bottom make it the winner. Although Hafx has better cable management options as it has many of those small hooks (?-probably not what they are called) to which you tie the cables and they are in different places unlike utgards which are sort of in a straight line. BUT utgard has about 1.5 inches of space behind the board which comes really handy.
Another thing i noticed was that Hafx cable management holes are in more...well,needed places. Not randomly placed and it really hides the cables. But then again,the feel utgard gives off is awesome
Looks great and is quite heavy with everything installed as compared with hafx,my back hurts lol.
And before you say anything,i know the cable management is horrible. The 24 pin and 4 pin connectors fell short,this case is huge. Thinking of ordering some custom wires which will cost me 40$ extra


Stripped them down to bare cages for comparison. Right is Utgard and left Haf x.



I do not know if its the camera or what but the case looks 10 times better in real life,maybe i just suck at taking pictures -_-
Got a lot of dust here & there while trying to install the things,otherwise it looks great.

That is one good looking case! Enjoy!

Thank you

Glad to see you around more, Juan.

Well, no new pics to share yet, but I wanted to comment on NZXT's Phantom 630 case: just amazing! Great to work with, almost the same as its big brother the 820. It is only missing the more "sophisticated" features like RGB integrated lights and integrated digital fan controller but it is a lot less expensive.
Overall, a great case. Like it a lot.
