need experienced pc part shoppers now
I am going to order pc parts in 2-3 weeks to build my own pc. However, I came across this CHEAP 120 DOLLAR HAF 932 CASE! Should I buy it now, or wait 2-3 weeks?
I understand pc parts get cheaper, but I don't think this HAF 932 case will get cheaper in 2-3 weeks. It will probably go back to 140 dollars right? Anyone know anything like this from newegg experience? This is my first time using newegg, so I am unaware as how everything went last year.

Wait i have second thoughts. I don't need a full tower case, but I was buying a 115 dollar med tower case, so I thought 5 dollars more for a case like this is worth it.

This is the same computer i was working on since last summer. I was taking my time and doing all the research since then. I was trying to wait out the time until my budget grew. I went from 500-600 dollars to 900-1000 dollars.
Idk if I should get the HAF 932. It might be too much for what I need. I am only going to have 1 hard drive, and sli and crossfire, probably I won't be using. I might do crossfire/SLI, but only for lower end cards like the radeon hd 6870.
I can just hook up the case's fans to another system's power supply though.
The HAF 932 should be about the same size as the HAFX, just maybe 1 or 2 inches smaller. My friend has the HAF X and it is HUGE.
Edit: Bobr has a good point. I have worked inside a pc case before, and I worked with mATX computer cases, and I have to say it was annoying. I hate how mATX computer cases have the hard drive covering the RAM and how I have barely any room to work with, like getting to plugs on the MoBo. However, a case like the haf 922, should be plenty of enough room for me, don't you think?
would you guys get a full tower for only 1 HD and no sli/crossfire configuration? or go with like the haf 922?
Edit: Wait there's other cases on a huge discount too, so if I don't buy this full tower, I will still buy another computer case. Anyone have any feedback on the Rosewill Thor?
The full-tower vs medium-tower thing can make a difference. The difference in room inside can really help if you're not experienced with working inside a computer case and trying to route all the wires and cables carefully. Full tower will also pretty much guarantee any video card will fit regardless of its size.
The deciding factor sometimes though may be how much room you have for the computer.. the full tower will be taller and usually wider than the medium so it'll take up more desk space.
It doesn't sound like much, but you'd be amazed how much difference an extra inch behind the motherboard tray can make when doing things like dressing cables so they look nicer and allow freer airflow for cooling.
Also, note that Newegg price is "While Supplies Last", which usually means the price will go up once their current stock of the product is sold out.

What a drag.
Amazon has the same case with no MIR. Free shipping can't really hurt you unless you do not have another component to test if the fans and switches work. However, Newegg's 60 day return/replacement policy is reassuring, even if it would require a payment for a return shipment.
Buy it and do the MIR for $25 back.
Edit: BTW, is this the same computer you was working on like back in August?
