Hey, I'm getting a new case and at the moment I have the 600t and the r4 on my mind, they are both within my price range and I'm not sure which to get!

 

I like how simplistic the R4 is and its silence as well as its clean front but I like that the 600t has a window. I'm not going for a custom water loop but I intend to fit in an H100i, 3 HHDs and an SSD as well as 2 dual slot video cards and keep it looking clean.

 

I know that there is a windowed R4 which I would definitely get but it's not available here and shipping will cost too much.

If you wanted to, you could mod the R4 and put in your own window.

Sounds like you like you like R4 the most :) Havn't ever worked in a R4, so can't comment on that. But the 600t is a Corsair case, which means it's most likely a pretty good case. The only complaints I would have about it, is that the panels doesn't line up correctly, and it has an external USB3. Apart from that, It's a great case, with loads of oppotunities for making your build look extremely clean.

If you get the 600t, you can buy a full acrylic side. 
Looks super nice, but is quite expensive.

In my opinion there is no such thing as a silent case. If you have a loud graphics card or a fan you will hear it no matter how much padding a side panel has. I have a 550D and taking off panels doesn't make much of a difference.

 

So just go for the one you would like to see every day, and the option to have a window is always great

The R4 is a damn nice case but you have the very case that I'm lusting after

 

If it was me I'd be sticking with it but go with which ever one you want :)

R4 is very good, I would prefer it over the 600T even though I love corsair cases, R4 just has more
600T is still a very good case, I would recommend the variations of the 600T which looks damn good like the white or silver (the R4's versions or white and silver just aren't as good as corsairs)

I would go for the r4 windowed but as I said its not available here, would it be easy to make my own side panel with an acrylic panel?
