So I'm having trouble deciding between 3 cases.

 

1. Corsair 750D. I know there's a lot of love for this case because of it's amazing cable management, but I'm quite interested in these other 2

 

2. Cooler Master HAF XB EVO. I'm quite interested in a cube case that wouldn't be hard to open and clean (6 cats and 3 dogs, gets quite dusty!)

 

3. Corsair 540. I do like this, but I heard that the glass (or whatever material it is) scratches somewhat easily. Is this true?

I'm one of those people who makes those bass music things.

I have one sitting in my room.

 

Only have capacity for ~5-6 Drives.

Which was a problem for me.

 

May not be for OP. If not, it's a great case.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Those options are all quite different to be honest

 

One is a large Full tower that was meant to have plenty of parts in it (750D)

Another one is a smaller compact case that was meant for fewer parts (540)

And the other one, the smallest, is a test bench or LAN case (HAF EVO)

 

Just go with the one that can fit the specs you own or desire to have

that a decent amount of drives but I guess it could be more, I use 1hdd 1ssd and will add another hdd soon. I've thought about getting a new case since I didn't pick mine out (got it for free with a purchase) but I just keep dumping money INSIDE the case instead.  the HAF XB evo was one of a few that I thought about.

Yeah, definitely wouldn't be a problem, since I'm gonna be using a PCIe SSD and one 5TB HDD

I own a 750D, which is great in everywhere.

Tuns of cable management space and could fit anything that you could throw at. 

IMO, do not get the 450D as it lacks Cable hooks to do cable management well(4 vs 11) and only 5 drives total can fit meanwhile you can fit 10 drives in the 750D.
