Hey everyone, I am stuck between two Corsair cases. One being the 650D mid tower and the other being the 350D micro. The price of the overall build will be the same, because I will have different mobos for each. The MSI Z87-G45 with the 650D, and the Asus VI Gene with the 350D. I really love the flush side panel of the 350D, but I am afraid if there is limited cable management and air flow. The side panel of the 650D is nice with the quick release handles. HELP ME! Rest of the specs are listed below. Thanks!

Airflow won't be a problem with the 350, but I would say go with the 650 because it will allow you to upgrade in the futre better if need be and also if you ever want to go with a water cooler then it would be harder with the 350, not impossible but harder. If space isn't an issue then go 650, but if it is 350.
