Dude think back to the video's....
650D, Tom couldn't decide if to give it a silver or gold so let the viewers on youtube decide!
RV02, Tom got it in especially after having to chase Scan for it and not only gave it a gold but said that although he doesn't have one he'd like to give it his own TTL thumb's up you need this case award.
That kinda says it all to me

I think the RV02 is better looking case but as KaraMurat said it depends on your personal preference.
I'm not to keen on the orientation of the RV02 plus there isn't water cooling options. You could put a 360 rad in the bottom but the heat from the rad would be blowing onto the GPU and motherboard and with only the 120mm fan in the top it wouldn't have enough air flow to keep it cool.
My two cents.

ah well went for neither in the end, went for the 700d in the end
You made a big mistake there. I have my 800D with eight months and its the worst 315 euro I ever spent.

yeah but i got it for what? £75 and its got space for a nice thick 360mm rad in the roof and its in the process of being modded for a 240 in the bottom, its better than the phantom at least and it looks awesome in my opinion dont regret it at all airflow isnt as bad as some people make out either
Must be something seriously wrong with my 800D then because I have all fan slots full and the airflow is terrible. Also the sidepanels dont fit properly so they vibrate with the HDD's and the HDD noise is beyond irritating.

no vibrating here, i have 3 xigmatek fans on top exhausting and a rear intake going straight into the d14 (flipped) and a bottom intake ( both spire 140mm 100cfm fans) and its all hunky dory, 2500k after 5 hours on prime was 6 degrees cooler than my phantom, and the gpu after a furmark burn in test was 2 degrees cooler

The 800D is a hotbox, Tom did a review (way back) and pointed out all the flaws with the case which Corsair said it took note and would ensure the newer cases it made performed much better with airflow.
I am contemplating the 650D myself because I might be changing my H50 for a H100 and the cases that were suggested to me wouldnt accomodate the H100 , but this 800D left me with bad feelings towards corsair cases.
