Help me choose! (Case related)

[Butterfish]

I'm looking for a new case! 

 

I like the Corsair Obsidian 350D and the Fractal Arc Midi R2.

 

I'm currently running a m-atx motherboard (Maximus V Gene) which would fit nicely with the 350d, but i dont mind upgrading to Haswell, and then go ATX in the arc midi r2. Soooo... What do? I like the minimalistic and elegant design of the cases, and i'm open to more suggestions. Any of you guys have some experience with these cases? I have previously owned a Fractal Arc Mini, which i was please with. I might wanna do some watercooling in the future. Thx in advance.

Personally I would go with the Fractal Arc midi R2 for water-cooling but for anything else the Corsair.... D: just looks so tasty...

I've got the same motherboard, and enjoy building in the Silverstone FT03. Watercooling isn't impossible, and I was considering doing it myself with some modded exterior rads.

I'd take that old gene off your hands

+1 for silverstone cases

 

triple 180 rad in the bottom of a ft02, ooooh baby

If you've got an M-ATX board, try Fractal's Arc Mini R2. It's got all the bells and whistles of the Arc Midi R2, but in an M-ATX form factor. Should be a much cleaner build/

I was going to mount two triples on the back panel of my FT03 using something like these:http://www.frozencpu.com/products/12506/ex-rad-208/XSPC_RSRX_120mm_Series_Radiator_Stand_-_Powder_Coated_Black.html

 

I think it'd be possible to fit a pump and res back there in between them, and it'd look BEAST.

I can't recommend the Arc Midi R2 enough :wub: I love mine so much.
