enthoo pro vs define s

[Sneach2]

Hi, I am about to start on a new build and I was just wondering what case to buy. I got some suggestions and so far the Enthoo pro and the fractal define s are looking good. I am planing to watercool my new rig and, from a watercooling perspective, the define s looks better (because of the larger rad support) anyway, I was just wondering what case you would suggest: the define s or the Enthoo pro, OR something entirely different.

My build plan: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/cs7crH

Note, I am going for a blue build (blue ram, blue ssd, blue mobo, ect)

The case would need a fan controller and I would like it to be black and with a side window. Also cable management is important to me. Thx

Whichever you like more. The differences are really too small to decide on one or another based on them

Define S.

Define S.

Why? (Sorry if I sound like a two year old!)

It's got sound dampening foam all over inside, so it will be a bit quieter, and also has a shitload of different options for watercooling, and no drive bays or anything that would get in the way.

The cases don't even compete with each other.

 

The Enthoo Pro is a classic case done right at an affordable price point. You'll get plenty of support for HDDs and 3 optical drive bays, along with handy stuff like Velcros for cable management.

 

The Define S is pretty much a watercooling case, though most people will probably throw an AIO there and enjoy all the empty space and unrestricted-ish airflow. It accepts only a couple of hard drives and has no 5.25 external bays. If you want to know about alternatives, I guess H440 and the Phantom variation for noscope MLG players are the closest bet.

I'd say the Define S, but where would you put the ODD?

You have a CD burner in your part list, the Define S has no 5.25 bays.
