Both are sober solid cases.
Need a silent case? Define R4 is a no-window case w/ noise-reducing material and two Silent Series R2 fans included.
Need ODD support? go Define R4.
Need a fan controler? Define R4. Three-speed fan controller that supports up to 3 fans.
Get the NZXT S340, the Fractal Design R4 as listed above, or the Corsair SPEC-01 which is an absolute bargain for $39.99 right now with a mail in rebate.
All are great cases with good build quality. http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=CA-GS340WB&c=CJ

Well, what's the usage case? Your other parts? Motherboard size? Integrated graphics or dedicated graphics card? How big of a card? What PSU? What kind and number of drives?
Without knowing that all the above recommendations are useless.
Unless specifically specified, one can safely assume it is either ATX or mATX.
We've listed mid towers for that reason specifically anyway, around 95% of builds are in one of those two form factors or EATX, but since the case is $65, I wouldn't say so.

Pc cases are subjective you really have to look at quality and then think about what you like to look at as it will be there day after day every day, if you don't like the look you will end up hating it and want a different one eventually. I have a full haf x and I m getting tired of it because its so huge and I dont really need that much room in a pc I also have a 230t corsair graphite and i love it small but tons of room I got orange because it matches my guitar and amp.
My haf x looks like a big huge black lump to me any more. But to be honest its easy to work in and I was at one time running 2 water coolers and 3 way sli. But my point is get a quality case with the looks you like. My haf lists for 170 ish or around and i got my corsair for 62.00. nxt corsair cooler master all have good quality fractal makes good cases also

thanks a lot 😀
Any time...
Well, my point is pretty clear though, a lot really does depend on what you're going to do with it, and what hardware is going to be put into it. There's a huge difference between a HTPC build which is going to be thin, minimal storage (assuming NAS elsewhere or streaming), integrated GPU, and a gaming SLI monster build requiring a 1200w psu, huge amounts of cooling, and a lot of storage, and a radiator or two.
In addition, personal preferences play a lot into things as well. I personally like the understated cases which are clean cut without all the angled edges and such (my current build is in an older Antec 4480 - Xeon x3470 @ 4.2ghz, 3x 4tb Segate ES drives in hotswap, SLI GTX960, 16gb, dual SSD RAID boot, custom water cooler - you get the idea). So - that just complicates things as some people like the different 'gamer' looks. Plus, design has come along quite a bit over the past few years - there are now some setups which use space much more efficiently.
Just because you own a case doesn't mean you have to keep recommending it to everyone ac, that's the third time I've seen you do it. :/
It has poor build quality and isn't priced very well compared to better quality competitors.
It is mostly plastic and the included fans are quite noisy.

i know there are better out there for me its about cooling and also if i could record the sound of fans now ud be impressed son as i have plugged the fans into mobo
