All cases are in the £100-130 range. Which of the three is better for:
Cable Management
Expandability
built-in cooling performance ( especially noise)
Ease of hardware installation ( HDDs, ODDs and SSDs in particular).
looking for the case with all these factors
which of the three is best (or if a better case around £100-130) please tell me.
thanks for the responses.

NZXT - has capabilities for triple 120-140mm Radiators on the top
Front accessible fan filter
Plenty of fan mounts
Plenty of cable management holes and spaces (more than the 2 other cases)
Integrated and re positional fan controller (7 fans - Molex power)

HAF X - High airflow design
PSU shroud
Triple 120mm top mount capability
Side panel fan mounts
Directional Fan shrouds
Hot swap bays in the front
Allows for 10 PCI slots

750D - Magnetic fan filters both on top and front
SSD motherboard tray mounts
top triple 120mm mount
sturdy construction
front and bottom dual 120mm rad mount spots


the nzxt is ugly IMO and cheap in build material
750D doesn't have good front airflow due to a panel blocking front fan mounts
HAF X is bulky and heavy and the tool-less bay design is not the best (current spare case for my intel build)

All have tool-less mounting solutions
All have flexibility for future proofing

the 750D would be my go to, simply because I could modify the front bezel to allow more airflow.
