Hey everyone, having a really hard time decided between these 2 cases.  Both are really good in there own right, and my current case is a Phanteks as well, where you can never go wrong.  The other is somewhat of an off-brand but It has good specs.  Please help me decide!!  Thanks in advance.

I'd choose the Phanteks (actually getting that model based off reviews for an upcoming Ryzen 1600 build).

 

The other case looks like a knockoff of Corsair's newer cases with knockoff Enermax fans.

Kyle from BitWit built a Ryzen system in the DIYPC thing that has been rebranded by other companies a few times over. The LEDs are gross. Get the Phanteks.

Wasn't planning on keeping the stock RGB Fans it comes with, was replacing them

Diypc is a very cheap brand, about on the level of Roswill for me.

Looks like I got the case wrong anyways.

 

Regardless I would get the Phanteks or perhaps consider a case that doesn't have weirdly-placed I/O.

Ok, I saw everyones choices thus far, and as I expected, Phanteks case wins by a landslide.  But let me throw another wrench into this comparison.  See links below.
