Which one to get?

So for christmas i'll have enough money to buy a case and some leftover money so I can buy a 280x mid march, anyhow, I wanted to know which one to get.

I want a good airflow case with cool Cable management and i'm undecisive between these 3 :

-Fractal Design Define R4 Windowed

- Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 High Airflow

-CM Storm Scout II Advanced

 

Which one should I pick?

I like the way the Air 540 looks, but I haven't built a system in it myself.

I would personally go with the AIR 540, its probably the best one for cable management out of the 3

A case is naturally going to be chosen due to its aesthetic appeal, in some cases maybe because its fashionable to show off how awesome your rig is.

All the cases you've listed above are great but no forum member(s) can deter you from getting one from the other. Also check out the Mod part of the forum their are some great builds in the Fractal R4 but I think you should be a little more different and unique with your choice.

 

For me I think you should choose either the Fractal R4 or Corsair 540

But I do honestly like the Fractal since its exterior and interior are clean

And I'd get the R4 because of it's looks and because it's silence optimized

I Recently ordered a 300r by Corsair. I like front intake grills.  :)

Out of the ones you suggested i'd go with the R4, but like everyone said its just up to personal preference really.

Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 High Airflow because it has lots of room in the back for cable management and has a nice big window.
