I have had the same delema and I thought 600T white cause I just really like the look of it, hate the red fans on hafx and too lazy to want to change em, now if they came out stock with blue fans i'd really be in trouble deciding but there's just something about that white case dont ya think?

Raven RV-02, I know it wasn't one of the choices but that case is awesome. I bought the HAF-X and although I think it is a great case my friend got the RV-02 and that case is just insane for air cooling and style.

Yerr ino what you mean every time i look at another white case i all ways think the white 600T looks better

I think i might go with the rv-02 now because i remember the gadget show build with the rv-02 and the dark rock pro which is what i have so i think im going for that.

Yerr the HAF X is abit ugly, but which case would you recommend the RV-02 or the RV-03.

I don't know to be honest it's a tough choice. I think the RV02 looks better than the RV03 but the RV03 is slightly cheaper and has better features, like the HDDs at the back of the case and the front mounted PSU. It also has better overall cable management.
All i'd say is watch Tom's review of each case again and go over which one you like the best, both of them are good cases but if it was me I would probably go for the RV02 in white but I would still be in two minds over which one to go for.
Unless you need the space for your kit, skip the HAF X and I'll probably pick the mid-towers mentioned above. The 600T has Corsair's eye for detail with fit and finish, and sensible features and design. Silverstone's RV-02E and RV-03 are quite different beast from each other, I'm still personally leaning towards the RV-02E even if it's design makes it silly long, so keep that in mind if you have limited desktop space.

I am also now leaning towards the RV-02E in white because the length dosn't bother me and the design of it is really clever i would have it i white defiantly though. the only thing that would bother me is the window on the other side.

HAF-X supports a wider range of form factors IIRC

Yerr i dont have the money for watercooling at the moment so i shall be air cooling with looking to water cool in the future

I kind of guessed that due to the sure size of it but i was more worried about the RV-02E and the 600T.

600T for looks, RV-02E for performance

The only thing about the silverstone cases that I personally don't like is the 90 degree twist to the motherboard the idea of having all my cables sticking out the top of my machine instead of out the back just don't do it for me.They may perform better but that would look to untidy whereas the 600T everything is out the back all nice and loveley and it is still a really good performing case for an air case. And if you aren't going to water cool its really worth considering. The NH-D14 fits nicely.

Yerr for some reason i like the 90 degree twist i think it gives a uniquness to ur rig so i think im going with that but i think im going to need to go with a white power supply now, like the Hale 90,just to have it match the case but otherwise im only woried about motherboard spacing.
