It really lacks 'space'. I can barely do any cable management with it, the air-flow is quite bad and...everytime I want to remove the HSF, in order to clean it, replace it or re-apply new TIM, I have to take off the whole damn mobo.
With the HAF-932 having a hole right under the 775-socket bracket, it should be an easier task.
And...I'm really impressed by both the look and GREAT air-flow this HAF-932 has to offer. 
Now, that I've almost made my mind to go with the HAF-932 and give up (at least for the time being) on the Q9550, there's another option coming to my mind, to buy a new 64GB SSD drive instead of the case.
But, I think I'll wait a bit more for the prices of SSD to go down before I'll buy one.
Maybe, on my next 'BIG' upgrade to a whole new i5-based or i7-based system (meaning I'll have to upgrade both CPU, mobo and RAM), I'll also buy a new SSD. But this will happen only in about a year from now...minimum.
