Upgrading case. Corsair 760T or Phanteks Enthoo Luxe?

I'm ditching my H630. Too much hassle, not quiet enough, and horrendous airflow. Looking at sound level comparisons, the H630 wasn't even that quiet.

 

To that end, I'm looking to upgrade my case. I've been eyeing the 760T for it's amazing looks and ease of access. Enthoo Luxe is also an option for the aesthetic as well as the build quality.

 

What would you fellows recommend? I'm thinking of putting 2 R9 290X Vapor-X cards in so air flow is important. Have a Kraken x61 for my CPU. What case would you guys choose? If neither, what would you decide on?

 

And please no H440, haha. The H630 is its bigger brother and I don't think I want to be a part of that air-starved family any longer.

The phanteks cases are good. I have the pro, very good for the price point. Build quality is great.

Yep...The 760T is a re-imagined 750D

Why do you suggest the 750D?

First case that came up in my mind, the 760T has some flimsy side panels, if you want the 760T without the flimsy side panels then the 730T

I had exactly the same problem. but my hardware shop has a partnership with phanteks so I get the enthoo luxe + 4x f140sp fans for less than the 760t... and I like the looks of the luxe just a tiny bit better

it's time for some jolly cooperation!

It's full of screws, you can literally take it apart and do whatever you want with it! :)

Exactly! I'm thinking about painting the top with another color and trying to put some sort of vinyl sticker or something on the window that won't block the view but that is still visible... still trying to figure out where to buy this and what to get anyway.

 

The Luxe is really worth the money.

Finished a build in the Luxe a week or so ago and it is a great case. Granted red isn't everyone's thing because it may be overdone, but I love the look of the Luxe with the lighting, the metal construction, everything being screwed and not riveted and the price point is spot on.

 

Enjoy the Luxe being as cheap as it is, because Phanteks will end up charging more the next time around I bet. They have had a few cases now that were successful, have build a name for themselves in the case market and I know I would of paid more for the Luxe, especially after having built a system in one.
