Pay day on Thursday and fancy getting a new case but can't seem to decide which one!

I've been thinking either the Phanteks Enthoo Pro or the Corsair 450D but can't seem to pick between the two. I'm wanting it have the usual good airflow, cable management etc. I've just order a new 240mm AIO cooler so it'd need to fit in the case as well.

I'm open to suggestion but I'd like to keep it under £100 and for it to be black like the two mentioned.

Thanks in advance!
 
Enthoo Pro is really a full tower labelled as a mid tower

There's the NZXT H440 but that doesn't have particularly good airflow
 
i have the phanteks Enthoo pro without the side window and i'd say it's the best case i've ever had, it looks brilliant.... it looks fantastic without the side panel on too

I have a couple of questions about the case. Does it have any fan controllers/software? I noticed it has the pin headers on the back of the chassis. And do you use the 200mm fan that was preinstalled or did you use something different?

HI
i use my own fan controller but it does have pin headers on the back, but i've never used them

no remove the 200mm fan, it's way too noisy, replace it with twin 140s



this is my original Phanteks, my new one is black, so good i brought it twice :)

the black version looks much better, it's serious and nasty looking, a bit like the Corsair ;)

i'll try and get photos of it, because i've modded the front grill as well

the case has just been made right, it's as simple as that, i didn't like the side window on my 1st case and on this 2nd one it deffo looks better without it

Also out of curiosity, what 140mm fans have you got in yours?
 
the front two on my new version are Phanteks 140mm

Corsair on the cooler, the rear and also the roof.............i have had phanteks 140mm in the roof too, but i prefer to see white LEDs up there.

the Phanteks are far better quality, much heavier than the Corsairs and about as quiet, but the Corsairs have a far better LED White light ;) the Phanteks has a dirty yellowish tint to it.

the Phanteks has 3 roof fans, but i only use the rear two now, the front one is a bit silly and i expect it messes up the air flow.
