Element-V vs Haf-X

[atomiczam]

Looking to build a new rig for a friend of mine, and for the set-up he wants I would normally go with Coolermaster's HAF-X case; but looking on newegg they have the Thermaltake Element-V Nvidia special edition on sale at a large discount. I personally have a HAF-X so I know the case and I'm comfortable with what I'd get for the money, but the Thermaltake case has almost identical fan placements, the drive bay system looks user friendly, plus the front fan control option is a nice touch.


So bottom line I don't know which way to go; anyone have any info on air flow or noise differences between these two cases?
