I like the CM Storm stryker because:

 

- It has great cooling potential

- It's huge

- Lots of room for expansion

- Quite mod friendly

- Incredibly durable

- Has one of the sexiest front panel I/O ever (Especially the power button <3)

 

That said though it is a VERY heavy case (at 13.7KG) and its style does not suit most. If budget was not an issue I would personally go with the stryker but the enthoo pro looks good as well

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Enthoo... much more attractive to look at and better to build in

I had a Storm Trooper (liked it quite a lot) and I'm going to tell you to go with the Enthoo Pro simply because it's better (and slightly cheaper).

If the Stryker had better filtered intakes I would say that but because it uses the straight sucking through foam technique I have to go with the Enthoo Pro

The enthoo pro all the way

It has best fan/radiator expansion for a case of its price (far better than the Stryker)

Design is less aggressive (advantage or disadvantage depending on ur taste)

Comes with strong cooling out of the box especially if top drive cage is removed(check bit tech)

Fans are higher quality than coolermaster fans

Has a strong built in feature set such as the pwn hub

Much more modable due to limited use of rivets

Yeah I'm looking at $200 just to import the Pro or other Enthoo. Even contacted PBtech asking them to stock it.

The stryker is good, but the enthoo pro just blows it out of the water :)
