Hey guys, ive given up on my quest to find a small case with a small space footprint in which it can store many hard drive. Also do note that my cable management is horrendous so any tips on improving on that? Today im currently looking at the Corsair Obsidian 350D and the Define R4. Which is better on your opinion? Based on the research that i have done majority of the people are split on  these so i would to know your inputs guys! 

 

Edit: They have different sizes for boards so it may not be fair to compare them but i cant find a decent case who can match the 350D in terms of looks, airflow and HDD friendly. 

Edit 2: I am also considering a mini itx board but most itx cases cant fit many hard drive and the clearance problem with my graphics card.
