Which case do you like more?

[Overkilled]

So my enthoo luxe is bruised and it really needs to go. 

The first case the Enthoo pro m acrylic, it's considerable cheaper  at £80 but it's I step down in quality compared the other case and the luxe I have now.

 

The next case is the inwin 805, it's £130 so it's worth noting if I did get this case I wouldn't really have any/much money left, if I got the pro m I can add something like the hue + or some nice riing fans.

 

 

Appearance>practicality which one is the better choice?

[Overkilled]

And it might be worth mentioning that the psu cover on the pro m is way better than the one on the 805

Why should you receive any for voicing an opinion?

Not if you list a alternative suggestion

And you'd censor your own opinions in fear of that? Seems unnecessarily self-defeating to me, but do as you will.

 

That being said, while it's alright to say you don't like something, in this context, it isn't constructive. If you aren't especially found of the two cases OP listed, it might help to provide reasons behind your opinion, rather than just the closing statement. That might help OP find a better case, rather than just informing him you don't like his choices.

Aesthetics are personal, no one can really answer that for you. That being said, I think the Inwin is aimed on aesthetics mainly, the Phanteks still maintains decent looks but they're known for their quality and features.

 

if you really don't care about features but pure for the looks, go Inwin. If you want a pleasing case with all sorts of features, better cable management, great value then take the Phanteks one. 

 

If if I were you, I'd go Phanteks. Even though I think the psu cover is hideous,

I really hate fractal design cases, they're pretty boring cases imo

It might help if you share a little more about your aesthetic preferences in a case, rather than shooting down suggestions afterwards. 

 

Maybe the NZXT S340/H440? They're somewhat similar to the Enthoo Pro, but has a rather plain exterior, similar to the Fractal Define series.

I want my pc to look like art on my desk, if I could afford it I'd buy the S frame in a heart beat.

[Rck010]

With some effort you can make most cases to look like art, all depends on the effort you put in.

 

Anyway, following that mindset I think the Inwin is the winner of the two, since it's aimed towards aesthetics rather than practicality.

Aesthetically I like the first one better, it looks simpler and cleaner. If it fits your needs for your hardware and is also cheaper, I don't see what could go wrong. Just make sure it's of decent quality.

Its great quality for a £80 case but the imwin is aluminum and glass compared to the steel and acrylic of the pro m

Personally I prefer Acrylic over Glass. Yes it's easier to scratch, but it's easily fixable and it doesn't break as easy as glass. Aluminum does a better job of conducting heat than steel but I don't think that you will notice any difference in reality. It's mostly about how you feel with it  Your choice.
