Cannot decide between these cases

Corsair 400r[95$]
Corsair 300r[ 80$]

I like the nzxt case looks but the airflow looks better in the corsair 400r which i always find very important. if it were me i would go with the 400r for that reason alone.

How many fans included with 400r and Phantom 410?

REAR, 1 X 120mm (included)
SIDE, 1 x 120mm or 1 x 140mm

I save Some money if a buy 400r but the NZXT phantom 410 looks really good! Which is better?

Personally I would go with the 400r, it seems like it has less plastic on it and therefor will last longer.

thats 2 for the 400r....but its your rig. if your not worried about air flow (not that i know it is bad per say), and don't mind the plastic get what you think you'll like most.

Just saw the NZXT tempest 410 elite! Much cheaper, how is it?

seems like a okish case. again less air flow then the 400r but looks more sturdy then the phantom 410. again its down to preference.

though anandtech didn't give it the best review. read this

One more option: Bitfenix Shinobi

 

[atomicWAR]

mmmm not enough options for fans if you ask me. looks nice though.

 

[hotshot2797]

So 400r?

 

[atomicWAR]

yeah that's my vote.
