Form or function really, its up to the individual, my Haf X sits under the desk so I rarely see it, its not actually quite as ugly as I thought, but it ticks every box on the list in terms of, massive amounts of space to work in, support for massive gpu heatsinks on a couple diff cards, good for cable routing, etc, etc.
Corsair, for me, is less functional, less good cooling, space, function, etc, etc, but much nicer looking.
Ouch, I thought i'd check for the sake of it just to check I wasn't talking about the wrong Corsair case. The Haf X has gotten silly expensive, I got one only a few months ago for £110ex vat, but its like £160 now, ridiculous. It is, IMHO a lot better than the Corsair but, now more expensive. Not sure if thats OCUK prices, a Haf X at along the lines of £130 is pretty much unbeatable, at £160, its less good value but still a good case.
No idea why the price would go up so much though.

I found some haf X in ebay that are much cheaper. should I just buy it there? what do you guys think?The choice between a 650D and the HAF X came down to which would fit my desk. The 650D being not quite as tall just pipped the HAF X.
Its my first proper case. Solid, quiet, no vibrations. I did pull the HHD LED connection because the white LED was a bit to bright for my taste.

Yeah, the HAFX is an awesome case, if you don't mind the looks. It's got everything for a good budget. If I had the choice, I would pick up the corsair though, personnal preference (I like a good looking case, and the Corsair is very competent in all departments anyway).

HAF X I love mine! The cooling, looks, size and cable management is second to none
