P600S vs. PC-O11 Dynamic

[Triboal]

Hey guys,

 

So over the last couple of months I've acquired both of these cases through deals and I've now reached a point where I don't see the point of keeping two cases when I only have one system (no need for another). I bought the PC-O11 Dynamic first because I liked the look and the reviews for airflow and such were outstanding to say the least. 

 

I then decided during an upgrade to my system to go for an air cooler tower on my CPU (NH-D15S) and therefore the PC-O11 Dynamic no longer fit the bill so I decided to get the P600S which was on sale. Since then I've decided to go back to my Kraken X62 AIO as I felt it made my build look cleaner and more refined (to my taste). I've since sold my NH-D15S but now I'm currently stuck deciding between which case to stick with and therefore which one to sell. 

 

Basically, I'm looking for opinions rather than just technical knowledge about which is best. I love both cases, they're both aesthetically pleasing and have good airflow (not sure which is better, and I use my P600S without the front and top panels) and I just can't seem to decide which one is better. My build is in my sig and in terms of future planned upgrades, I only plan to upgrade my CPU and maybe add a 2.5 inch drive which neither of these choices neglect one case over another.

 

I know this is may seem like a weird inquiry but just looking for external opinions and ideas basically and any feedback is appreciated!

 

P.s. the P600S is gunmetal colored and the PC-O11 Dynamic is white. The rest of my room is white and my keyboard (Corsair K70 rapidfire), mouse (Corsair Harpoon) and monitor (in sig) are black.

I really like the 2 compartment look of the PC-O11. Also, show off your RGB!

Both cases are amazing IMO. The P600S has a bit more flexibility if you decide to go back to air cooling or get a mITX APU system at the top, but the O11D will be better for watercooling unless you need a 420mm radiator . Airflow in both is good, nearly equal in most instances (it's dependent on your fans at that point)

 

I will say the O11D will likely be easier to sell since it's an extremely popular case. You might get a bit more $$$ for the P600S since it's initial value is higher. I do not envy your position!

I would probably go for the O11 Dynamic for liquid cooling since it allows for that clean look with the rad on the side.

Thanks for the reply guys and apologies for the late reply, been away with work.

 

Yeah I'm really stuck between the two. I think either case will be hard to sell here (UK) just because I don't really know of any good place to sell PC hardware (if you know any then please let me know, would be much appreciated). I did like the look of the PC-O11 Dynamic a lot and I also rate the flexibility of the P600S. I don't think I'll be going to install a mITX system any time soon just because I prefer to run a cool system and don't have a need for a second system (or the money really haha). Having the choice to go back to air cooling is appealing but I feel like AIOs and maybe even custom loop are the way I want to go for now tbh. I do also enjoy the look of the more box-like PC-O11 Dynamic compared to the tower-esque vibes of the P600S.

 

Kind of stuck really between the two still. Might make a poll?

 

I currently have 3x AER 120 mm fans which I can install on the PC-O11 Dynamic plus some ML120s and ML140s.
