H440? Phantom 410? Define R4?

RiSource

Hey.

Ive been researching recently mid tower cases for my mid range mid tower build. 
 

These IMO were the "best". 

NZXT H440

Phantom 410

Define R4
 

What do you guys think I should get?
You can suggest other cases too (mid tower)

Keep Moving Forward...

The H440 isn't the best for airflow, the 300r is a good case. Or the 350d

Silverstone RV/FT05? @spwath will love me for this :P

Phanteks enthoo pro is a great choice, as is the Fractal design arc midi R2, both due to airflow being high, with a good amount of room for expansion including watercooling, and also allow for optical drives and fan controllers etc to be installed, which the H440 cannot support due to no 5.25" bays. Also, they have lots of dust filters, which is good for keeping the case clean. Again, they have fairly clean looks that are not too gaudy (phantom 410) and not too plain (define R4)

This says it all.

 

I have a phantom 410 in red, and i dont like it.

The define R4 looks plain too.

My vote is this post.

The R's are ugly and awkward to build in. 350D or 450D is better

Phantom 410 IMO. It might not be as quiet but its definitely the most aesthetically pleasing. Put some S12's or some Be Quiet Silent Wings 2's in it and you'd be hard pressed to notice a difference.

I feel the opposite. The 450D feels cheap, R4 feels solid and is better to build in

Not the R4, the Corsair R's (200R and 300R)

"Rawr XD"

Personally i like the H440's Aesthetics out of any mid-tower case. That black and blue one.
