Which case do YOU prefer?

  1. 1. Which of these 2 cases do YOU prefer?

    • Segotep LUX ATX Gaming Case (White) + 1x Blue LED fan for the rear
      1
    • Tecware Alpha Case (White)
      11


I'm having a tough time deciding which of these 2 cases to get. The Segotep LUX ATX Gaming Case comes with 3 blue LED fans but I'll be adding one more for the rear since if I were to take one from the front, it will look bloody ugly. On the other hand, there is the minimalist Tecware Alpha Case which comes with 3 white non-LED fans and looks pretty much the same as the Segotep LUX just without the front panel window. Both have magnetic dust filters on the top of the case and under the PSU. Both equate to the same price. So, which case do YOU prefer? (Pics and links below) Thanks! :) 
1. Segotep LUX ATX Gaming Case (White) + Segotep Polar Wind 120mm 15 LED fan (Blue) 
2. Tecware Alpha Case (White) / Tecware Alpha Official Product Page

Snip- 

The Latter looks a load better, Too many LEDs on the first.

 

CiT also makes some budget cases, they are worth a look.

The first only has 3 LED fans btw. The picture I attached is a full system with all fan slots utilized. Also, I can't find any CiT cases on my local online store. :(

Even so, the top looks crap, I can also say that the fans are going to be crap, because they are spending the money on LEDs and not decent bearings

I'd go with the second one, the motivation being that I would feel very limited selecting parts for the first one, at least fans, as it would pretty much expose everything. With the second one I could go with less aesthetic looking fans that still may perform better, and get away with it -> more silence.

Don't forget to invest in an Intel Tuning Plan if you're going to overvolt your K/X CPU

Also, imagine how horrible it must sound on the first chassi with the air running through those small vent holes in the front

Personally I prefer white/black with solid black front. 

 

Silver/glass doesnt appeal to me at all.
