Corsair 350D vs Bitfenix Aegis?

[Tim Drake]

I am stuck between these two cases.

 

I can get a 350D windowed for £71 or a Bitfenix Aegis Core for £69....

 

(P.S An NZXT S340 was on the list but I want expansion for good airflow for an SLI setup)

Hmm... that Bitfenix does look good, although personally I think i'd tend toward the 350d... 

 

Ooohh make a poll!

Pretty similar cases. I'm biased against the aegis, just because it looks like it stumbled onto the set of pimp my ride, and barely made it out alive before they started on the gold plating.

If not using aio, the s340 will have best sli temps and CPU temps.

If using an aio, then bitfenix or corsair.

IMO, the corsair is way to big, and the bitfenix is to plasticy

Lol, happens to the best of us. Haha. Which have you chosen?

Still haven't but leaning towards 350D

I hear the Aegis is a bit "meh" for the price in terms of features, build, and QC. And who can say no to an Obsidian? So... nice... *licks lips*.
