Big/high or Midi tower, why choose one over the other?

[Rorgash]

I am looking for a good chassi, but this is not about a specific one, this is more about why pick a midi or a big/high tower, what the positives are and the negatives, except the size 

 

Hidden information about the cooling effects of a midi compared to a big/high and such

 

Edits:

 

Full/Big/High Tower

 

Pros: 

         Easy Custom water cooling

         Expansion slots. If you use several PCI slots you're going to need a big tower. 

 

Cons:

          Hard to move

          Needs for fans to push the air around

 

Midi Tower:

 

Pros:

          Easy to move

 

Cons:

          Harder to Custom water cool 

          Few expansion slots

I would only take a full tower if you truly do not want to move it and if you plan to do custom water cooling. Otherwise I would think that the Medium towers are fine. (Though medium towers are now getting more love for custom water cooling with the new NZXT case)

im sure we can find some more to add to the list cant we?

Full towers have more expandability and take more fan power to move the same amount of air in and out of the case.

That's about it.

Tbh, moving my 900D is a b****.  It weighs legit like 80+ pounds lol.  All I can do is "wiggle it" around on my desk when I have to tinker with it, if I ever actually have to move it I ask my cousin to help lol. 

 

 

 

OT:  I LOVE the idea of huge cases, but I guess that's because I enjoy getting "over-kill" for what I actually need.  

 

I also love mini-itx, for the sheer size and amount of performance you can cram into those little guys

I sort of want to watercool a bitfenix prodigy in the future. Maybe if I ever build a new PC in the future I will
