For my new build i'm not sure on what case to pick, it's out of the be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 rev. 2 case or Fractal Design Define XL R2 case.

The most all pay for a case is £300 (if there's better cases around for that price range).
 
The fractal case is ancient about 7 years old, will be built rock solid though,, have you looked at phanteks cases, depends if you want glass side panels
 
Define XL is certainly spacious and easy to work with case and uses real mass damping of panels instead of light foams.

Though weight is just hefty at 16½kg as empty.
So better make sure floor is sturdy enough to carry it when you load it up with stuff.

Though neither is BeQuiet really much lighter with only 2kg less weight.
Both are big cases and not easy to move when loaded up.

i like that basic look on the fractal cases, but at the same time the BeQuiet case looks good too. What phanteks case are you talking about?
