Yeah I will probably get the 900; it's just be being fussy, I have heard that you can stick a piece of window filter 1/4 cm thick between the case slot and fan to act as a dust filter; so the dust thing isn't quite so bad.

I just like space for wiring which imo you dont fully get with the 900.

My case has a series of clips, to keep most of the cables in the same place, but there were still lots that needed to be separate. At least you can sort the cables how you want to with cable ties, rather than having to fit them to the case manufacturers way.

As for dust filters, when I was building my PC I didn't notice many with them. As you said you can just add some filter padding of your own.
