I'd say 350D.  or 650D/C70 for a Mid Tower size.   

 

NZXT cases are nice but unless your getting a H440 or Phantom 630/820 I'd look else where.  I feel those are their best examples of what they can design. Thus making them the only good choices from them IMO.

I need help deciding between a NZXT Phantom 410 and a Corsair 350d (windowed). I have a micro ATX motherboard. Which should I get? Should I keep the phantom 410 or get the corsair case. I want a case to fit on my desk but I like the look of the phantom.

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

I have a phantom 410 and my friend has a 350d and based off of me seeing it in person my vote would be the 350d

In what way is it better? In your opinion.

Since I've gotten the phantom 410 my tastes have changed and I prefer the look of the 350d. I also in general hate the side look of the phantom 410.

 

It's more of a aesthetic difference they have about the same cooling options and the 350d has slightly worse cable management.

Looks are subjective. I like the phantom look myself but the matx motherboard may look awkward in a mid tower.

That is true and is a few of the reasons I am leaning toward the micro case. However, I like to have room for upgrades.

I got the 350d when it came out, and love it. I've looked at the phantoms, and it doesn't look classy to me.

I guess I'm going for 350d.
