Hi,
I thought I had decided to go with a Corsair 500r, when i started looking at other white cases. Now, I'm having a hard time picking. Here are top picks from my list (All are the white version):
Corsair 500r - My initial pick, but seems a bit conservative. Currently, the cheapest on my list.
Rosewill Thor V2 - I really like the look of this one, but I'm worried about the fins on top. Do they let in a lot of dust?
CM Storm Stryker - Another nice looking case, but significantly more than the 500r.
CM Storm Scout II Advanced - A lower priced option, but not as low as the 500r
Thermaltake overseer - Strange looking. It's growing on me.
I know most case choices are subjective, but I'm still looking for input. Would any of the above cases require more fans for my build if I'm not over clocking.
My build will include a ASRock Extreme4 motherboard with an i7-4771 processor. I initially planned on buying the CM Hyper 212 EVO as a heat sink, but I've been reading that if I'm not going to OC, and I'm not buying a K series intel, the stock fan may be ok. Any opinions on this? I guess the heat sink would not hurt anything.
I noticed a few cases come with fan controls that have manual knobs. I'm not sure I like this and planned to buy a spliter to have the system control the fans via the motherboard.

Is there anything wrong with this?
Thanks,
Phil
