be quiet! DARK BASE PRO 900 ATX Mid Tower vs Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX

[azfleur]

I really like how new be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 ATX case looks like , but I'm slightly worried about the airflow since their front panel is solid and they only have small side vents. There are no user reviews on this one yet.
At the same time people seem to have good airflow with Phanteks Enthoo Evolv...
Which case you would take for a good air ventilation + aesthetics? Thank you.

Air moves very freely. Your spending a lot more on a case than I would. If you like the looks then buy it your the one going to look at it every day. With todays video cards and processors (excluding some AMD junk) their really no reason to buy a full tower running a overclocked i7 and 2X GTX 1080 you have about a 600 Watt PC with some decent overclocking.
If I was buying a full size case in that price range then this is what I would buy but everybody likes different looks.

Actually for the looks I like If I bought another case if I needed one and I don't I think this one looks killer.

See what I mean about different taste when it comes to looks.

That's a very good case but I just love my C70 since I replaced the side window to get rid of the fan holes.

Hmmm... You made me think. Maybe I do need a full tower. I have a midtower which needs to be replaced/updated, and my husband always complains how difficult it is to move anything in my case. Well, my Noctua NH-D14 does not help by blocking half of the case either 😀.

I am planning on having the following setup:
ASUS X99-DELUXE II LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core i7-5930K
Corsair Hydro Series H110i GTX (bye bye, my wonderful Noctua)
Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz
and I will probably leave my old GTX770 for now (to be replaced later)

I actually liked Corsair Obsidian Series 750D Airflow Edition you showed - it looks really clean, it is a contender. I am going to google the difference in size between mid tower and full tower.

For the size difference you need to look at the case specks, not all full towers are the same size their no industry standard.
