Corsair c70 or Coolermaster Storm Trooper

(I am not a custom water cooler, may get a corsair h100i in the future at most...)
 
Solution
They are both really good cases I would probably choose the c70 because it is less airflow restrictive in the front, the storm trooper is restrictive because of the hdd cages. Also the c70 is a little better for water cooling which I like. Keep in mind though the storm trooper has all those cool features in the front of the case like the fan controller.

Solution
I'd go for the storm trooper. The hdd cages by default face sideways. They get fresh air from the side, then that is pushed out the other. If you get the h100i. The rear fan would be set to blow air into the case and the top fans to exhaust. This setup gives each of the zones both a fresh air intake, and a exhaust outside of the case.

It also has a nice little box on the bottom that holds all the extra screws and standoffs. Built in 3 speed fan controller and a nice soft touch feel to it. The hdd cages can be removed to allow for better air flow, plus there is a separate cage for ssd placed closer to the PSU.
