Help me decide

Hi , 

i am looking to change my current case. i had the thermalLake v21, but i want to get a conventional mid tower now. 

I have 3 things shortlisted - 

1. NZXT H440

2. NZXT S340

3. Phanteks P400S tempered glass edition

4. Corsair Carbide 400C

 

Just a note - i have 4 HDDs and 2 SSDs to install, and i want a side window, and if it is tempered glass, even better. Compactness of case is also a consideration.

Well that rules out the S340

well if you have 4 HDDs then you can throw the corsair 400c out the window, only supports 2 full sized HDDs. Otherwise its a great case.

Seems like a solid case and as you said, the tempered glass is a huge benefit. IMO it looks way better than a traditional side panel.

BTW, can you post a list of your full system specs?

I would recommend the Phanteks Enthoo Pro TBH...

Phanteks says up to 6x 3.5" in their manual (page 5)
