Cooler master or corsair case

[kakashims]

I've posted in the mobo section about my problem to chose a mobo, and a case, but I think asking about the case here is more relevant. I want to buy a new  case compatible with ATX mobos, mine is a cheap one and dosent' fit an ATX mobo, my budget is 150$ we have here:

 

1-Cooler master cm 690 III (not windowed): 146$

2-Cooler master Silencio 550: 150$

3-Corsair Carbide Spec-1(ugly): 83$

4-Corsair Carbide 100R: 84$

5-Corsair Carbide 200R: 98$

6-Corsair Carbide Spec-3: 103$

7-Corsair Graphite 230T (The orange is exessive): 112$

8-Cooler Master Silencio 550: 140$

 

And other cases but a bit out of my budget. I want cooling (may be I will add a watercooling kit next), looks, and relative silence.

 

The two sites that I can purchase from (I am in Tunisia, prices are in TND (Tunisia Dinar)) are :

CM Silencio cases are fucking beautiful. Seriously, I love mine. Cannot hear my PC at idle, literally cannot and under load it's barely audible cause I have the front door off for better airflow.

i had a silencio 453 and the cable management gap at the back is too slim, the case itself had hardly any support either for water cooling and it didnt bit my air cooler in.

 

550 or 650 wouldnt fit my cooler either after looking at the specs.

Hmm? the 650 has a lot of space in the back, all my PSU's cables are there. Not sure why the 452 didn't fit em.

the gap was tiny like 5-10mm no joke, didnt like the case at all after i had bought it, it was too plain and boring. only bought it cos it was on sale.

I am a sucker for simple and elegant designs I hat the fancy lights and weird shapes nowadays. As for space, I got about 20mm at least and cause of the foam, even if it's tight I can still everything in fine.

That's my opinion also, I like simple and elegant designs, that's why I didn't like the cabride spec or the graphite. If the silencio 550 is a good cooler I'll take it.

Well I've read and watched some reviews about the silencio 550, and there is a problem withe the air flow: the fans that come withe the case are 800RPM, so they are silent but the airflow resulting is bad, and the case is heating, if you replace them with better fans, the case in not silent anymore!! I think I'll pass the silencio 550. Any advice guy with other cases from the list? I can go as high as to buy this http://www.sbsinformatique.com/prod-14444-Boitier-PC-Cooler-Master-Silencio-652S.html or this http://www.sbsinformatique.com/prod-3132-Boitier-Pc-Corsair-Vengeance-C70-Gunmetal-Black.html or the carbide 500R.

After some research, I really like the Cm 690 III, What do you think guys, this case or the ones mentioned above (including the carbide 500r). Thank you very much.
