I think the P400 looks better but thats just my opinion. Have you considered an S340? Amazing case.

I have a budget that the two cases fit into, and I agree the P400 looks better, but I still really like the design of the 101. It is really hard for me, I want tempered glass, but it isn't super necessary, and I also want looks, which both fit into. I'm also looking for moddability, which is easier to mod? Since I'm doing a case mod, it is a simple paint mod.

No idea about modding but I dont think it matters if its only a paint one. Also the tempered glass wont be worth it really because IMO the 101 looks eh. 

 

Also what do you mean about the budget? The S340 is also $70.

The 101 is basically a big 301, a gawd damn excellent case.

 

The 101 has great airflow and the p400 has awful airflow, I would go with 101 in a heartbeat. 

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

Heres a shit pic of what you can do with a 301.

Hard to tell what is going on there. At any rate, Phanteks chokes their fans too much outside the cases with the front mesh.
