Wow that's an amazing case and it's only 100$ on newegg!

I'm really surprised.

Enthoo Pro will still make you take the HDD cages out for two dual rads. I'd just get the R5.

Which should I buy? 

  • The Corsair Graphite Series 230T
  • Fractal R5
  • Or another one...?

I wanted a big windowed case without being very expensive!

Uh, two radiators...? If one is for CPU cooling, then what's the other one for, extreme GPU cooling?  :unsure:
