Antec NX260 or Be Quiet! Pure Base 500 window

[RazrX]

I'm looking to replace my Antec 1100 case for something newer and more compact, and after searching through my limited market options, I settle between the aforementioned PC cases.

 

I'm giving airflow priority although my build is not very high end to generate a ton of heat (Core I5 4690, GTX 1650, Gigabyte ATX MoBo) but I do have a CM Hyper T4 CPU cooler and a Corsair RMx with its original chunky cables, and that's my main concern choosing between the two, having enough space to cable manage the 8-pin EPS and 24-pin cables. Also I have one 2.5" SSD and two 3.5" HDDs.

I will transfer my three 120mm fans to the new case.

 

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

I would suggest a Corsair 4000D airflow

Antec has better airflow, Be Quiet should have much better cable management.

 

What other options are there?

It´s been out of stock for months, I doubt it will be restocked. It was a good option.

Not many options, mostly chinese cases that are like a tin can, full of RGB (I´m not a fan) and without 3.5" bays. The DeepCool Matrexx 55 MESH and Lian Li Lancool 205 (non-mesh) are other options.

Antec - $64

Be Quiet - $72 (Normal price is $126)

DeepCool - $88

Lian Li - $59

 

Those prices are converted from Chilean peso.

The Antec case has great airflow and is pretty cheap. The problem with Antec is that they don't have much space for cables. I have an Antec case and the side panel is literally bending a little bit because the 24 pin cable on my RM650x is too thick. This Antec does look slightly better for cable management then mine so I guess it might be worth a try, but I still don't know if it's enough space.

 

The Deepcool one looks decent too, but it's the most expensive.

 

I think Be Quiet and Lian Li have too bad airflow in this case.
