Hey, doing some last minute part shopping, but I was wondering if the 530 or 410 was better. Some things you should know.

 

-Going to SLI in the future, either with 770's or 880's (When they get announced)

 

- I have a carpet as a floor for my room. This shouldn't be too much of a problem, I could easily get a marble/stone plate to put the case on if it's a problem for the 410. Since Linus said the 530 has great airflow, and perfectly handles thick carpets.

 

- I have a small desk, and on the right side of me, there's a fairly medium size gap to fit the PC, however both will be sticking out in front of the desk.

 

Any suggestions? Yes I want the Phantom series... I'm just a sucker for nice looking cases.

Hey, I absolutely love the Phantom series aswell. I would recommend the original Phantom or the Phantom 820 White.

Hello

Of the two go with the 530 but I would suggest you consider something along the lines of the H440, Enthoo Primo (I know I misspelled that) or the 650D.

Hope this helps :D

No misspelling.

But yeah I say this. The phantom 410 feels cheap and I loath mine.

I don't like all the plastic.

I know, I hate it, and regret buying it a ton. Especially in red. I want a new case but when I want to get one with my own money my mom says "what's wrong with your pretty red one, that one fine"
