[smsm1996]

definetly the masterbox

bro whichever one you take. just make sure to check the max cpu cooler height clearance. I bought a Corsair spec-04 and it has max 150mm cpu cooler height which makes me very limited to CPU coolers as I cannot upgrade my stock amd wraith stealth cooler to something else. Do keep an eye on that.

Both of them a good case though, but i would go with the cooler master one instead, looks better.

You might want to consider the Riotoro CR480. It's maybe $10 more, but the airflow is great, (partly due to easy cable management) and you can park a car in it.

Just finished my 3rd build with one, and it worked out really well. Didn't even skin any knuckles lol.

I didn't research the CM, it looked a bit "fancy" for my taste. The Cougar was one I checked out, and probably would have bought, but I noticed the Riotoro somewhere and it also had really good reviews, and also had the utilitarian look I wanted, but unlike the Cougar, nice red accent trim lol.

I also liked the fact that all the drives were toolless to mount. But the Cougar was my 3rd choice, with the Rosewill Challenger S being 2nd.

I based my choices on that boxy look, and then narrowed it by reviews, esp. what people had to say about cable management.
