EVGA Hadron Hydro vs Corsair 250D

[TheSLSAMG]

So, I am going to be downsizing and upgrading in a while, and I am trying to sort out a final parts list. Here is what I have settled on:

 

Intel Core i7 4770K/Intel Core i7 4790K

ASUS Maximus VI Impact/ASUS Z97I-Plus

8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport (already own)

Corsair H100i (already own)

Gigabyte NVIDIA GTX 770 2GB (already own)

Cooler Master Silent Pro M 700W (already own)

120GB SanDisk Extreme + 1TB Seagate Barracuda (already own)

 

and I want to know which case is fundamentally better for this setup. I personally prefer the 250D, but I want to know your thoughts.

[madscientist56]

250D it has better cable management

[Excon]

I'd go with the 250D, also you have a different PSU

[helping]

Tbh I kind of prefer the looks of the hardon more

it's also by EVGA and everyone loves EVGA

and dat soda can size comparison

[GuideMe002]

same here , i would vote for 250D

[SAV1OUR]

250D so you can trick people into thinking its a big toaster

[WunderWuffle]

The Corsair 250D looks more elegant in my opinion, therefor, it gets my vote. I also like the layout more. It has better watercooling capabilities than the regular Hadron.

As for the OP, when choosing cases it really depends on uses and preferences. For example, I want my build to be portable for vacations, so I went with a console sized cased (Silverstone RVZ01) because it will take up no space and fit everything I need it to fit in it. I don't mind the aesthetics of the case either.

Aesthetically and functionally, I prefer the 250D. I'm actually putting together an ITX build in that case after I can sell my Air 540 build.

[jezza39]

250D, you won't be using that PSU in the EVGA case (inbuilt 500W?)

[Excon]

Maybe go with the Hadron if you could re paint it and get the PSU sleeved?

[austin541]

250D or hadron would be nice

[bigbang29837]

250d actually has more interior space and it looks a lot more compact and nice. I would personally go with the 250d because CORSAIR.

[sleepy_hollow]

if using impact i'll prefer 250d, since impact has outnormal VRM unit in it

just afraid if hadron can't mount it perfectly, since EVGA design it based it's own stinger motherboard only

[Gachr]

I'd definitely go with 250D from these 2 due to Hadron's compatibility issues. I will by buying an ITX case myself and I will go with Bitfenix Phenom White due to its sleek look

that name tho, 10/10 would buy

I actually really would prefer the Hadron. I don't like the 250D in comparison because it looks like it was the case that took the short bus to school.

[One Who Craves Souls]

The Hardon Air looks better in my opinion, very small, flashy with that window to show off and sleek. The 250d will give you more space thou, since it's bigger...

[Tacitus]

I don't think either is a great looking case - the Hadron Air I think looks great, but the additional top added to the Hydro looks silly.

The 250d is the better case though.
