im having a hard time picking cases, and keep increasing my budget. i was wondering if it was worth paying a bit more and getting the 650d over the 550d. how is cable management? is it somewhat quiet?

@farthanorakazi I think I'd prefer the 550D, if I wanted to mod a pretty nice window onto it the 650D will be the winner for the mounting mechanism(s). Cable management depends on the modularity of your power supply & your creative thinking of hiding cables.

if you want the case to be quiet then 550d, if you want the case to have better cooling then 650d

i'm concerned with astetics, cable management and silence. power supply is seasonic x-850

Well you're always going to see the power supply unless your bend a sheet of acrylic/aluminium to make a shroud to cover it. I think that you'll definitely be using negative air pressure in the case.

well then 650d, the 650d looks better, better cable management but the 550d is more quiet. 2 to 1 means 650d is the one to chose.

are the 650d's front usb 3.0 still just passthroughs?
