I have all of my needed pc parts bought, except for the case. There are 3 cases i am considering. The phanteks enthoo pro, phanteks p400s tg, and the corsair 400c. All are around the same price. I am low on space right now, so consider that. I want the enthoo pro because it has 5.25" bays, it looks nice, and it comes with 2 big fans. I want the p400s tg for the tg window, the price, and the rgb. I want the 400c for the window and the looks. Which should i choose? I kind of want the 400c a bit less than the others, but im still considering it.

I think you should look at the Enthoo Pro M TG. It's got the 400C feel of a very open side panel, and expandable hard drive cages / SSD mountsn (comes with cages for 2 HDDs). I would say it's about in the middle of the three cases you're looking at. No RGB though. And it has the similar looks of the Enthoo Pro. Only 1 5.25".

If im gonna get one SIMILAR to the 400c and have tempered glass, id get the p400s tg. Also, the ventilation on the pro m looks a bit odd to me, maybe a bit too long.

You should add NZXT S340 Elite to your consideration too. It's in the same price range.

 

I owned Phanteks P400 non-TG version. I can say i'm impressed how big the space, easy cable management, build quality and sick appearance. The only con is there's no 5.25" bay and the case left a smudge when i touch it which is fine to me.

Similar to the 400c? You mean the 460X? (It's literally the same frame)

My budget is around $100

The version I linked just comes with extra fans, there's also the $120 version that just comes with one front and one rear fan.

I have the p400s acrylic window and the p400 tg. I love this case. Lots of fan mounts, lots of filters, good cable management, and the tg looks stunning. Here are pics of my wife's tg build and my acrylic window build.
