    Question Corsair Obsidian 450D or Phanteks Enthoo Pro?

    I recently developed an itch for a new case, as my ageing Silverstone is a bit knackered and looks old now.

    I have been trying to decide between the Corsair 450D (http://www.corsair.com/en-gb/obsidia...-tower-pc-case) and the Phanteks Enthoo Pro (http://www.phanteks.com/enthoo-pro.html).

    The reason for these two is that I wish to have a slightly smaller enclosure that is hopefully a bit quieter, although at the same time has some reasonable airflow - I don't need it completely silent.

    I don't really have much time for modding any more (shame!), however, I would like to use a Corsair H100 (or similar) for my CPU in order to keep temps down in the summer and also hopefully reduce the noise a little. My existing system is nothing special, just a stock-speed i5 2500K with a nVidia 660 with an SSD/HDD/DVD-R.

    I was wondering if anyone had an experience with either of these two cases and has any recommendations?

    I just saw the NXXT H440 just now, and this looks interesting!

    If you want airflow, stay clear of the H440

    Though I don't have any experience with these cases, I would recommend the Enthoo Pro, as it has more features and has better cable management, with the velcro straps and a 4-pin pwm multi fan header. Don't take my word for any of this, though, because as I said before, I don't have any experience with these cases.
