I have narrowed it down to:
- Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 High Airflow Cube Case
- Aerocool X-Predator Evil Blue Full Tower Gaming Case
The only downside for the Corsair case for me is that it only has space for 2 HDDs. I currently have 2, so if I ever decide to get more, I'll have to rid myself of one. Plenty of space for SSDs, however, so if those see HDD level pricing in my time, it's fine. Some of the front panel cables are a bit on the short side as well apparently.
The only downside to the Aerocool case is that the side panel window just isn't that nice to look at in my opinion.
Both are said to have excellent airflow, although the Aerocool case lacks reviews for me to make a better call.
I was also looking at:
- Cooler Master Cosmos SE Black Large Tower Case
- Aerocool Strike-X USB3 Air Open Frame PC Case
The only downside to the Cooler Master case is a poor design choice pertaining to how one of the fans is mostly blocked. I do like the handles, though, as I tend to move a lot and also like having access to the ports on the back.
I decided to not look further into this Aerocool case as it seemed a bit too funky in its design, plus a review mentioned issues with cables being too short and the bottom panel bending too much.
Would you guys kindly provide further input on the matter? Perhaps you have cases you'd like to recommend? I am leaning towards the Corsair case, but alas, being limited to 2 HDDs does make me feel uneasy.
