Which do you like better, the looks or features?

@TheSLSAMG has a C70, you could ask him about the C70.

A little bit of both but, i like how the c70 has a side window with some room for 2 fans of the side aswell but im not sure if the case could fit a gtx 970... if i had the money i would get a 780t but on a budget :D

From owning one, I can tell you that the C70 is a very solid case in terms of features and build quality. It can fit most anything, including the GTX 970 G1 Gaming (the longest GTX 970)

 

Get the Silverstone RV05 instead. Far better built, more space efficient, with some skills cable management will look better in it, better airflow, 90° rotated MB etc.

Based upon the plastic panels on the exterior, I could make a case that the C70 has better build quality. And it already has better airflow. Also, rotated motherboards offer little to no cooling advantage to non-rotated motherboards.

Eh, depends on what you are taking about. Frame quality the rv05 wins. The plastic is a downside, but OK.

What Already has better air flow?

The rv05 has better flow, and the 90 rotation gives it straight airflow, which few other cases have. It's better to go straight, be it front to back or bottom to top, then front and bottom intake with rear and top exhaust

Another reason I would not get the c70 is because it's corsair. I personally woukd not support a Comoany that makes products that are just OK, and puts a high price tag on them.

I personally have an ft05 on the way to my house, but I assume it's out of your budget.

Metal pieces are better built, besides on the c70 the HDD trays are quite flimsy, the main frame is very thin, sidepanels are plastic on the c70. A friend owns it and its quite a horrible case compared to another friend who owns a FT02. And no, there's a good cooling performance difference like 10° on the GPU; http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cases/2013/06/19/corsair-carbide-air-540-review/3

Cons were pretty much meaningless from hardwarecanucks. If I'd list the cons of a c70, would be a big list.

I second this.

The con's hwc listed

Hard drive cage: so you take 19 sec and screw in the hard drive, not hard

Cage restricts PSU: doesn't matter unless you have long PSU

Plastic: yeah, kinda cheap

Fan controllers: how often do you need to change?

Top dust: not much dust will settle through io

I consider the cable management on the NZXT S340 to be superior to the Corsair C70.

yea maybe but i don't know the nzxt just doesn't interest me.

Corsair cases are not that good. And no better cable management than phantom 410, the phantom 410 has great cable management

Why do you want a new case if you like your current one?
