Fractal Arc Mini R2 vs Corsair 350D- what's better?

Snoyper

I'm deciding whether to buy the Corsair 350D or Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 for a new case. I need a new MicroATX case for watercooling, but I don't know which of these two I should get. What is the best of the two Overall? I'm looking to get a Corsair H100i for watercooling, and I'll only be cooling my CPU at the moment.

Other Specs (these must fit in the case):

Two WD Blue 1TB HDD

One Crucial 128GB SSD

Corsair CX750 PSU

Gigabyte R9 290

ASRock H97M Pro4 Motherboard

And I would get the 350D because it looks better imho.

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

Since 350d is way more expensive. So normally.

for air cooling/AIO either case is sufficient.

 

for custom CPU/GPU cooling, then the mini r2 is your case. the r2 is smaller but

has more options for water cooling over the 350d without modifications.

 

the r2 can hold a 360 and 240 (both 60mm thick) radiators in the chassis, the

350d cannot (without permanent chassis modification) as it only able to support

a 240x 30 in the roof and 240/280 in the front (but the restricted airflow is hard to

overcome).
