Case for new build

[Phil2008]

Im going to be upgrading to either the i5 or bulldozer in these next few weeks and was wondering what case to go for. I like something that looks smart but minimal, so I thought about going for a micro case as it would look very smart on my desk and not in your face like a midi case.... But I'll prob regret that as it might stop me upgrading later on.

So which 1 would you choose out of these, Im leaning towards the
Fractal Design Arc Midi cos its very minimal but looks smart.

I've been doing some research into cases recently. I've been focusing on the 650D and have read/watched some decent reviews! It seems like a good shout!

And personally I think it looks nicer than the Fractal Design

I would choose 650d if all of above have the same price but at current pricing ARC Midi as it has a decent cooling option, good cable management and it is spacious for a case at this price level

The Arc Midi and 650D are two of my favourite cases from recent years, so go for one of them definitely. Really depends on what you're after. I'm so tempted to get an Arc Midi and put some 140mm white LED fans under/behind the mesh parts, reckon that would look really nice

Thanks guys, I think my mind is made up.

I would go for the 650D if it wasnt so danm big, so its the arc, as it isnt much bigger then my antec 900 and it looke like a piece of furniture. But Im still looking guys.

Im not a fan of lights but yeah white led fans might look quite smart, as I will prob change all 3 fans anyhow for quieter ones.

I have the Corsair Obsidian 800D it is a beautiful case. I brought it already assembled, my first new build I am using a Bifenix Colossus (mainly because I picked up an unopened box one for £60) again a very nice case.
