I am in the market for a new case, as my Antec 902 just doesn`t cut it anymore.
My problem now is that i cant decide between the Corsair Graphite 600T or NZXT Phantom White.(Love the white theme)
So you guys can help choose wich one go for and why.
Budget is £150.
Cable management is a must , and they great on both cases as far as I can see and airflow.
It will be housing the following from my Antec 902:

Intel Core i7 950 @ 3.83GHz (Bloomfield) (Socket LGA1366)
Asus Rampage II Extreme - ROG - Republic of Gamers
Corsair 12GB (6x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz XMS3 Memory Kit CL7(7-8-7-20) 1.65V
OCZ Vertex 2 120GB (2 x 60GB) @ Raid 0 Windows Drive
Samsung 1TB Sata II Storage Drive
Akasa AK-CCX-4002HP Venom CPU Cooler
Asus GeForce GTX 480 1536MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Cooler Master Silent Pro Modular 1000W Power Supply
Samsung SH-B083L 8x BD-ROM with DVD±RW DL SATA Blu-Ray Drive

Also after getting the new case will be going , to move to watercooling in the form of Corsair H70 and a second GTX480.

Please fell free to give your toughts and maybe other suggestions on different cases.

Thanks in advance.

My current rig , done few changes after this (12GB Corsair , and OCZ SSD x2)





 
I'm doing a build in a black NZXT Phantom as I type, and I love it. Loads of room to work with, and I may even make a decent job of cable management at this rate...... Maybe.
 
Airflow on the 600T sucks. The 200mm fans move no air at all - they're basically there for the cosmetics and the pretty leds. On the plus side the cable management is amazing.
 
£130 ish
Cooler Master HAF X
Silverstone SST-RV03B-W Raven 3

£150 ish
Cooler Master ATCS 840 Classic Case

£170 ish
A silver silverstone fortress ft02
Lian Li PC-A70FB

If you like the looks of the cooler master haf X this is a no brainer it's definitely the best case around £130 and i'd say closely followed by the raven 3.
If it were my money I would get the Haf X for sure.
