Help Choosing a Case! Please!

itslegendddd

Hi guys I have narrowed my choices of a case down to these 3 options:

1. http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Obsidian-Series-Computer-CC650DW-1/dp/B004UE1W9K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386546015&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair+650d

2. http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-HAF-XM-Computer/dp/B00BCXF6H6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1386539806&sr=8-3&keywords=haf+X

3. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146144

(Or if you have a better option for around the prices of these cases please suggest them!)

I'm just putting in average things in case so pretty much I just need some opinions. Thanks for reading and respond with your opinions! Thank you.

I'd say shell out 10 more dollars and get a 750D, beautiful case with TONS of expandibility and options

Out of those 3 I'd choose the 650D for looks and the Switch 810 for cooling potential.

a friend has the switch but i had bad experience with nzxt so i'd take corsair for the looks.

Out of those 3 the 650D definitely, but the R4 is amazing in that price range.

I like the size an dlook of the switch 810 and if you want to watercool it's an amazing case for it. The 650D has that Corsair name to it and almost full metal build. The coolermaster HAF series I personally don't like because i'I've seen to many of them and not much can be done in terms of watercooling with them really.

Thank you for the opinions. I think im leaning toward the 650D (I would choose 750D, but it seems to be sold out everywhere I look.) I planning to sleeve my psu and i found this sleeving color do you all think this will be a good match with the 650D? http://www.amazon.com/mod-smart-Professional-System-Sleeving/dp/B008SDS42M/ref=sr_1_32?ie=UTF8&qid=1386540136&sr=8-32&keywords=sleeving

Corsair 650D. The NZXT is also a good consideration. I like the simplicity in the designs.

If you're not doing anything special, why not go matx with the 350D?

Id say that two very reliable options are the Fractal Design r4 and the corsair 650D. They are both very durable mid towers with awesome air flow and good customizable feautures. One thing that the r4 may have over the 650D is the silencing foam on the inside that helps reduce noise while keeping good temperatures.
