I was torn between Xigmatek 382, Zalman Z5 plus and Corsair 200r, and bought Xigmatek 382 because its offer more HDD slots and got it for around 35£ for windowed model

I would recommend any of those 3, though Corsair 200r build seems to be the most solid (not by much, could be brand effect). But for skipping on Corsair 200r, I have extras for three 120mm fans.

Dont really understand which part you're referring too, is it the pci slot cover?

yes. I want to know if you can replace them. some cases just pop up and destroy it. and the airflow? decent cooling right? for a 660/7870

Sadly its the pop up type, but you can replace it with silverstone aeroslot.

As for the airflow, currently I have 2 front intake fan, 1 back exhaust fan and 1 top exhaust fan, and temp on 6870 is around 40c on idle, and around 75c during gaming, which isnt bad considering I live in a country with daily temperature between 26~37c

For dual card setup, it was reaching 90c on load, but it could be down to stock sapphire fan

Nope, unless if you buy aftermarket pci brackets. 200r bracket can be replace, and no for Z5, but 200r is the most expensive among these 3 casing

Though if you can find Corsair 200r priced similarly to Xig 382 and Z5, I would say go for Corsair
