Im making a gaming pc for a customer( i can finally see the new windforce cooler in reality yay) and im stuck between the two, the 410 was great but its like the baby of the group. Im swaying to the 530 due to it being a beauty. Any pros and cons you guys could throw around.

The 530 natively fits a Kraken x60 and the orginal doesn't.

Cons: Plastic

Honestly i dont care, its lighter and that helps everyone out, easier to clean as well. Also its gets better temps then all the R4 fanboys. Cable managing, well you try an NZXT case, it has the best cable managing system by bloody far.

Cons: It looks horrible. Oh wait I guess my personal taste took over there for a second.

Construtive feedback only if you would.

Well considering the lack of different features you can really only decide from looks vs price. Maybe ask your customer? Personally of the two I'd get the 530 because it looks less like a Stormtrooper, but people have very different taste and remember only one person have to be happy with how it looks, the owner. ;)

The customer thinks im fixing his keyboard and uninstalling some virus his computer. Its a surprise birthday present, i got half of the strike 7 to work again but the lighting is on and off in areas. the screen thing works. It actually feels very nice for a membrane keyboard.
