Has anyone used the 500R?

So with the 750D, do you just lower that door whenever you're playing games so the fans have airflow? Or does it do even when it's closed? It's funny you linked that video. I watched it before and it mentioned that the front was broken haha. I'm sure I could get a replacement though.

I absolutely loved how the 750D looked but when I read a review they said it's better for watercooling. Do any of you have experience with this case and just using the stock fans or adding a couple more fans? It also doesn't have a fan controller but I don't know how important that is. Are there other ways to control how fast they go, or is it limited to a physical controller? Ok so my other friend says he has his case setup to where when he CPU gets under load, his fans speed up. So I guess I don't need a physical controller. I like the R4's looks as well, sleek. Haven't looked at the other two, I'll check em out. THanks.

Hey guys. I'm building a computer with my tax money and I have everything besides the case and monitor so far (monitor is out of stock everywhere it seems). A buddy of mine is telling me to get the Corsair 650D, and it looks nice and all, but after reading the reviews on newegg the fan controllers breaking is mentioned A LOT. So I'm worried about that. I've looked at the 500R and it looks nice as well. I have no experience with cases at all so I'm completely new to all this, and I'd really really appreciate the help here. Here's the build I'm going for, with the 650D in there. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/jpcamden/saved/3GuR I'm going to be relying on air flow so I'm not sure if I need the 650D which is apparently, from reading on random websites, more suited for watercooled builds. Can you guys suggest any cases that are reliable, not SUPER loud, and keep my stuff cool? I keep reading the Corsair fans are kinda crappy and that you have to replace them, but what would I know?
