Which case?

I originally wanted to get the Corsair 600T Midi Tower Case, but now I also like the look of the Corsair Carbide 500R Midi Tower Case and the Cooler Master CM-690 II Advanced. Which one would you recommend? I'll be using either a H80 or a H100 in this build if that makes a difference. Also welcome to other suggestions.

Cheers

I found the 600t was easier to cable manage over the coolermaster 690 cant say over the 500 though as havnt used one

Thanks, will probably just stick to getting the 600T.

I'd seriously consider a Cooler Master Storm Trooper (listed name CM Storm Trooper on the website).

I've got one and it's a beast of a case, it's got more fans installed than the Corsair 600T, has fan control buttons built in to the top\front of the case and is beautifully designed.

If you're in to water cooling you can fit 2 radiators inside the case too.

Whatever you do I'd defo watch some youtube reviews of the case. It's a great case and amazing value for money, plus it looks sexy.

Check out the Fractal Define R4, although I think OCUK stopped supply of it. I'm using one in my new build, sound dampening and room for a 100i rad in the top intakes. Worth a look!

Corsair Carbide 500R is one of the nicest cases I've used.

I've just switched over to a HAF XB and that's superb, but I can definitely recommend the 500R. Plenty of room, removable HDD caddies, 200mm side fan and front fan control too.
Easily fits a H100 as well as I ran a H100i in mine.

Which reminds me I need to take some pics & get it sold.

Corsair carbide 500r is a brilliant case.
