I was just about to purchase the Corsair air 540 but recently I've seen the release of the 740. Now I'm stuck in choosing which case to pick, they both have their pros and cons, 540 is smaller + has easy access HDD/SDD bays beneath the mobo, the 740 has a cool side window that opens up for easy access but the case is bigger. I would like to see your opinions on which case YOU would choose, don't take the price difference in consideration. Thank you.

I'd go for 740 since it has 2 bottom 120/140mm fan mounts the 540 lacks. As far as size goes, i like 740 since it gives me more room to work inside the case. Also 740 aesthetics are better for me.
Personally, I prefer the way the 540 looks. The fact that it's smaller is also a nice bonus, and as you only install hardware into the case every 1-2 years (usually), how easy it is to install components is not a very significant factor.
