These are the cases in question:
CM Elite 430 red edition
Corsair 300R Windowed edition
My main concern is how effective air cooling will be in each case, as well as room for cable management. People have said the CM Elite 430 has horrible airflow, and I've heard some good things about the 300R's airflow, but wanted more opinions on the matter; I also plan on mounting my Hyper 212 EVO massive heatsink so that the fan will be blowing up and out of the case rather than towards the back of the case, and was wondering if that would still block the top fan mounts. Some of these questions can obviously only be answered if you own the case but I was also just wondering if one case has a particularly better reputation for airflow efficiency and cable management.
