Getting a new pc

Corsair Obsidian Series 800D. thats what im talking about

I've always been told that the 800D is specifically designed with watercooling in mind and doesn't have a lot of air flow. If you want airflow, get the Corsair 650D or 600T. However, both of those are mid-tower cases, while the Antec 1200, CM HAF 932, and NZXT Phantom are all Full-tower cases.
 
i do like the phantom i have nothing against it but its not what im looking for heres the updated build.

i c what you mean about the 800d it has an intake fan going to the HDD/SSD cage and going to the "heatsink" area of the case. idk were the out take is probley on top. but its kind what i am looking for as easy accessible HDD because i change them out on a daily basis. i just hate opening then closing then oping again. yes i consider a external docking bay. but my desk get clutter up and i have a rats nest under my desk.
 
I had not even thought about the hot swap ability of the 800d, but if that is a feature you want, then that case could be very good for you (even though it was the mid version 650d I had really recommended). If you are serious about going with the 800d, you will want to add/replace some fans on the 800d to improve cooling to your main components:
