Im looking to upgrade from my 800D to the white 760T to match my colour scheme...

this case cost me $300, and I will probably only get about $200 for it, but that is still enough to pay for the 760T :D

The only thing that I don't like about it is the build quality. Whenever you have a fully built system in there, the case flexes quite a bit. It is something I'd keep in mind.

That is the only thing that i would worry about, i got a storm trooper, thing is solid, but weighs a ton to lug up and down stairs when it needs a clean

If you don't plan on kicking it or nudging it (accidentally or otherwise) or moving it around much, it will serve you well and look fabulous while doing it.

Yeah, i do move mine to clean it tho and thats once a month, Air 540 looks nice aswell, i bascially would love one with a big window with similar space to my trooper, thing that annoys me about the trooper is the front takes attach to the HDD bays, so i cant get rid of on of the HDD bays coz i would lose a fan, would still serve good as another rig tho!

Have you considered the 750D? It is my current favourite case. It fits pretty much everything, looks great, feels solid.

I did look at it, but didnt like the plate that sits over the front intakes, i got Areocool Sharks in red coming this week, wanna see those nice bright LEDS, i also like the CM693 but im getting that for my mums build that im doing with my old bits after i upgrade, dont wanna have the same case as her :mellow:

I suggest you get the Air 540 then. It's an excellent case with clean looks and a nice large window. Also, most of the not-so-pretty stuff can be hidden behind the motherboard tray, so YAY!

 

EDIT: I'm not too familiar with what other brands have to offer off the top of my head because I like Corsair's looks the most.

Currently owning the air 540, but going to replace it with the new enthoo pro from phanteks.

The air 540 is a unique case, but I think the PSU side has a lot of space wasted and the motherboard side is quite cramped. Also only the front intake is dust filtered, no filter for the psu or at the top.

The enthoo pro is much better IMO.

I watched linus's review of the Enthoo Primo, still dont get why they have that big plate on both on the side of the HDD, i mean i can see why its there to hide your drives, but is a bit of a ugly sight IMO, but they do look well made, plenty of room for water!

That panel is actually removable, i cant believe what i just saw, and for that price $99 in £ has got to be like £75 maybe £80, this is another contender, thanks for making decision harder  ;)
