Hello,

I'm planning to make my first build and I want a case with a good air flow under 110 USD
I've found two cases that I like Corsair Carbide 330R and Fractal Design Define R4 without window. Both of them meet my needs, but they have different features. My concerns are:

Which case would be better for hydro cooling? (in case I'll decide to go for it)
Which one has better air flow?
Does the presence of the window affects volume of the noise? R4 with window
330R is designed for noise suppression, so to get better air flow I need to have top panel and front door open? E.g. if I have a fan on top of the case, to make it work normally I need to keep the panel removed?
R4 has a fan speed control - 5V, 7V and 12V - is it a good thing to have for a gaming PC or I can live without it?

Or if you have some better options for the case I need I live in Riga, Latvia (Europe) and here are the essential parts size:

GPU is 287mm, Asus GF GTX780 3GB GDDR5 PCIE DC2OC
PSU is 120mm, Corsair Builder CX750 ATX2.3 80+ 750W
CPU cooler height is 159mm, Cooler Master HYPER 212 EVO
Motherboard Form Factor ATX, Asus Maximus VI Formula
