I am looking to upgrade my LAN build with a new case. I have narrowed it down to two that I really like.

I have heard many many many great things about the Bitfenix. I just worry I will have issues with airflow in such a compact building area. While with the Thermaltake, it seems much more spacious and airflow does not seem to be an issue at all. Any thoughts?

Corsair 250D is probably one of the best ITX cases you can get right now

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

mATX bro :D I personally wouldn't get either. I would buy an ARC Mini but if I had to I would get the BitFenix

Oopsie, I meant the 350D

Of those two, the ThermalTake.

 

Though the Fractal Design Node 804 would be my choice for an mATX cube case.

 

EDIT: Another alternative is the Xigmatek Aquila.

INTEL CORE i5-7600K | ASUS ROG STRIX B250i GAMING | CRUCIAL BALLISTIX SPORT LT 16GB | EVGA GTX 970 SC | EVGA B3 550W
SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250GB | CRYORIG M9i | BE QUIET! PURE WINGS 2| FRACTAL DESIGN DEFINE NANO S
