P500A or P400A

[Guest]

As the title suggests, I want to get either one of these two cases and I'm looking for opinions on which. Saw reviews of both cases, and the performance are within 1 - 2 degrees of each other. The only thing that worries me is the P400A seems to have a little flex that the P500A doesn't. But the P400A is about $40 cheaper.

Both are great.  I think the P500 is slightly bigger than the P400A so if you need the space for your hardware or the space to build out your PC then go for the P500.  Otherwise the P400A is fine.  I didn't feel any flex on my P400A.

As long as it can fit the new graphics cards, and my Noctua Nh-u12a, spacing shouldn't be a problem. I was mainly thinking of the P500a has anything that would justify the extra $40. If flex isn't a problem, then thats good

You might want to check out the clearance for the GPU and CPU cooler first to make sure they all fit.

Well there has been a push towards small form factor cases.

 

I have an Air 540, but it was just too big for the desk I have and have downsized to a H510.

 

 

Looks like the p400a is larger than a meshify c, and can support up to 16' video cards without the drive bay. Space should be fine I think
