Ok so sorry for having to make a new topic for this but I have trolled the interwebs and I have gotten allot of info on these cases but still can not decide.
My first choice was the 600t, not the SE version as I cant get an Irish retailer that stocks them and im not willing to pay €30+ for international shipping for it. Then i though DF85 as its pretty much an upgraded 1200 and i have a 900 case that still looks smart. Thirdly I spotted the 650D and while I DON'T! like the look of the case it has the goods of a 600t and better fans {atleast that's what a couple of articles claim}
Corsair 600T
Pros:
I love the look of this case, I mean god damn if I could I would marry it and have sexy little 600t babies!
Great cable management.
Side mounted HD trays.
NH-d14 fits in it.
Cons:
Supposedly has poor airflow.
Antec DF85
Pros:
I do like the look of this case {the optical bay covers don't bother me as I don't use optical drives}
Good airflow with fans on max { i dont mind noise, i have 4 120mm and the 200mm antec fans all maxed on the 900. The starship enterprise has nothing on me XD}
NH-d14 fits in it.
I actually like the red/black colour scheme
I like Antec.
Cons:
Piss poor cable management
Front mounted HD bays.
Its more expensive then the 600t and 650d
Corsair 650D
Pros:
Airflow {apparently}
Cable management
NH-d14 fits in it.
Side mounted HD bays.
Cons:
Its fugly, I mean F-UG-LY!
So somewhere in this long winded post i guess im asking people that own one or more of these cases what their opinions on them are and those that have heard from friends or have read about these cases what would you pick? All help is appreciated and welcome, this really has been the hardest bloody build part i have ever purchased >.<
The parts the case will ultimately house are:
2500k {OCed to 4.5}
ASUS P8P67 evo {B3}
4GB Crucial Ballistix 1600
1GB GTX460 {ya ya i know it needs upgrading
}
2 1TB WD black HDD
NH-D14
Corsair 650W PSU
One last note.
The reason i dont just get a 600t and upgrade the fans is because i cant justify paying €150 for a case that needs me to invest another €60 to replace its fans.
