I have came up with 4 contenders was wondering if you guys thought of anything better or which of the 4 is the best?

I am building a server and it will be placed behind a angled couch in the corner of a living room. Looks are important for when I need to show it off and it has to be quiet too.

1. NZXT S340 Elite Black
2. Corsair Carbide Series 400C
3. Corsair Crystal Series 460X
4. Phanteks Eclipse P400S Glass Midi Tower Case

I have ordered them in terms of my preference however I have only just looked at features and no idea how good they are.

I really like the idea of the puck for headphones.

I really like the idea of the swinging door on the 400C to easily swap drives if need be.

I also like the idea of the glass front on the 460X it looks sleek

And I also like the idea of the glass side of the P400S and it's awesome built in cable management.

I like all of them tbh

What to choose and is there naything better in this price range?

My opinion? The Crystal series for bling factor.

Go for the 460X. I'm eyeing up the 570X (its all glass) for when I find a more visible place for my machine.

went for the S340 elite in the end it's only £79.99 atm (discounted)

the 460X (with 3 fans instead of one) is around £130+. nearly double the cost. I couldn't justify spending that much tbh and the elite gets really good reviews on youtube

I would have gone for 1 or 4, I prefer the straight edges on the S340.. don't forget to post some build pics
