Because I can't decide on what case to get for my new build, I thought I'd ask /v/ . Fractal or Phanteks?

I got this exact case for an older build. one of the best experiences I've had with a case. it built easy, cable management was amazing and it's quieter than anne frank.

I own the fractal one. It's nice and everything comes together and removes nicely. I'd recommend it.
20 dollar difference doesnt make mean much, so ultimately go with the one you'll prefer to look at.

30 dollar difference. Check again you gay fruit

Fractal

I like the fractal design one better. Simple, no bullshit LEDs etc.

I have the fractal one, good case and good airflow if you set it up right. Tons of room inside too
I own the Enthoo Pro and it's made me a bit of a fanboy of Phanteks. If you care about how seamless the build process is I can't recommend them enough, they've thought of everything when they designed that case. The p400 is pretty similar.

>if you set it up right
the fuck does he have to do differently? not put a cat in there?
>>341690305
get the bigger one
>>341691441
this was pretty much me, I got the enthoo pro and then I bought the p400 just because the enthoo pro hit all the right marks with me.
Front of the Planteks looks like it might have airflow problems if you're putting any fans or radiators on the front. The Fractal will likely be quieter cause it doesn't have a glass side panel. So it really comes down to if you want that window or not and your fan setups.

looks like the rosewill case I bought 4 years ago

it was pretty decent, good value too with all the free fans
>>341691964
on my tests I don't think I had airflow problems. I was running an AMD FX 8320 OC to 4.2 with a cheap Hyper 212 evo aircooler. IIRC under load it was somewhere around 50-55c.

I've got the Define S and it's a great case. Don't know much about Phanteks though.
I have a very similar fractal case and have been very pleased. Good airflow, very little dust gets in, not much noise comes out even with stock heatsinks.
I am sure both are high quality but I can at least authoritatively say that the fractal is a very passable case.
Anyone know about Thermaltake's Core V21 or similar mATX/Mini-ITX case?
>>341690305
I own that Fractal case
It's nice
>>341691516
yeah that's a start
Just get a Obsidian 750D. Probably the best case out there.
>>341693324
>Obsidian 750D
whats so special about it? looks over priced even with 30$ off
>>341693649
>aesthetically pleasing
>all dust filters are magnetic instead of clips
>bottom dust filter slide in slide out
>2.5 drive bays are on the back panel for better cord management
>tall/wide for a lot of space
>great for water cooling or get the airflow edition
>a lot of vents and space for radiators and more fans
>amazing cable management with built in hooks in the back
>not over the top like the 800 or 900D
>>341690305
Fractal, no window, because the no window versions have sound dampeners
less noise > looking at your dumb ass components

I was thinking about getting the Corsair 450D. Can any owners comment on it?
