Corsair 200R vs 300R

[domliu]

Hi,

I'm planning on building a more compact PC, as I am headed off to college next year and need a computer that will not take up too much of the dorm.

I've been looking at cases and I almost decided on the Corsair 300R, but then I discovered that there is also a 200R. Which do you guys think is the better case? Price is not an issue, what I'm looking for is a small, well-built case.

These two cases have been criticized for not including some features such as additional hard drive bays and hot-swap capability, but I really don't need any of that. As I said, I'm looking for a well-built case, which means quality over quantity of features.

Thanks in advance!

First of all, both cases are not small. They are big. The main thing is: the 300R has better airflow than the 200R.

They're small as far as mid towers go (I already have an ATX mobo). What would you recommend as an alternative? I rather like the Corsair cases

Yeah; they're good cases. I'd get a Fractal Design Define R4 or an Antec Three Hundred Illusion.
