Case vs Case

[DavidUSSR]

Hi guys,
I want to replace my current Antec X1-T case with corsair case but i want to do case comparison between 3 cases.
The cases are: Corsair Obsidian 450D vs Corsair Graphite 230T vs Corsair SPEC-03
I need to know about cable managment, watercooling compatibilty, no. of case fans, material quality, HDD & SSD bays,graphic card length, cpu air cooling height for the 3 cases i listed.
Thank you for future answers.

The answers are given in each respective products page but I'll touch up on a few.

The 230T does not allow for mounting of a 120mm radiator at the front or a 240 at the top(at least not with a set of fans attached inside the case) and it only allows for a single 120mm radiator mounting at the read(exhaust).

The 450D is more of a watercooling friendly budget geared case with top 360mm, front or bottom 240mm and rear 120mm radiator placement support. Due t the rubber grommets the cablemanagement work would look stellar as opposed to the lack of such grommets in the 230T.

The Spec-03 is more budget which means it's built from thinner steel paneling and it's about half what the 230T offered in terms of drive capacity and cooling. You loose out 2x2.5" drive support and like the 230T it only has a single 120mm radiator mounting option. You can mount fans on top like the 230T but it's possible that heatsinks from the motherboard and ram will interfere.
