I like 2 cases Cooler Master Case Pro 5 Mid Tower ATX Case & Corsair Carbide Series Air 740 Case.

I am confused between these 2 cases.

Please give your thoughts as this will help me to pick one over the other.  

 

Thanks 

 

What are you confused about between these cases?

Why did these cases appeal to you?

The Air 740 is immense, it's way too big IMO. The Mast Case is very generic, overused and a bit overpriced, but it's the better of the two.

yes, master case is generic but I am looking for cases online from last 5 days nothing appealing to me. But, if have any other case in mind please share.

I am a bit clumsy person, I will end up breaking the tempered glass for sure lol. This is the reason I want to stay away from tempered glass cases

nah. tempered glass is relatively strong, and you barely need to touch it while building, and an accidental kick won't break it.

 

there's also versions of the S340 and P400 with a plastic sidepanel. (S340 (not elite) and P400 (not tempered glass version))

I've just used the Air 740. It's big but I moved from a full tower to it and I like it. I sit it on the desk and it's great. 

 

It's an interesting case and I'd say it looks good. Very easy to build in and I like how the powersupply is in the back compartment with the drives. It leads to a neat build. 

 

Yeah there's plenty of room but eventually I'd like to move to a custom loop and I think it'll travel well into the future. 

 

It's different for sure. I, for one, like it a lot and don't regret getting it. It could use some more dust filters like in the bottom of the case.......but otherwise it won't let you down.
