corsair solutions are all quality ones.i cant tell you details.(try reviews)the one thing i now for sure is that (obsidian 550d which i own) is a great spacy tower and very silent BUT if were talking about hardcore overclocking i wouldnt prefer it due to the sound dumping material which cuts a lot of the cooling ability.generaly in prety satisfied though

If the cooling in the 550D is bottlenecked the I would not take it as I will do overclocking... So what about the 600T?

i lean towards the 600t due to wider frame which can accommodate easily the huge cpu collers like noktua. also it has some pretty huge fans for intake and a top mount for exsaust.it will also be a lot quieter than the 120mm carbide has, due to slower rotation of the fans.

Okay but I would go for Corsair H100i for cooling and then no need for big cpu coolers... In carbide too I would mount that 240mm radiator on the top so the top fans would be out of the case... Now which would be better? :p

I see that the Corsair 500R is better as it has a room for a 240mm radiator at the top so that it could easily be fitted there and leave space in the case.... While both cases have 200mm fan...But the 600T has no bottom fan mount while 500R does have.... While both comes in black and white color.. Both has fan controller... So I think that as per me I would take the 500R for my new build.. Thanks @chris987
