Hey, I'm buying a new case for my new gaming pc.
I need your opinions do decide whether to go for the Phantom 530 or the Fractal R4, while the R4 costs about 10-15$ more. (or maybe even the Corsair 400R?)
The relevant parts of my system: ASRock Z97 pro4, Sapphire R9 290 Tri-x (305mm long), Seasonic M12II 750W.
I do have to say the R4 design is very nice and classic. It's also important the the case will be as quiet as possible.
Thanks! :)

The phantom 410 and phantom full have in built fan controllers, The phantom 410 and full have great airflow, and the phantom full has support for loads of fans and a large graphics card.

The NZXT H440 is a silence optimised case and almost everywhere its padded in foam to keep out the sound.

Despite this its more down to personal preference, Pick the case you like the look of the most, for me its the phantom full.
Dont pick a case you dont like.

The phantom 530 is a full tower, But the phantom full will give you more airflow if you have a long graphics card.

I would go with the phantom full tower or Phantom 410 Or even NZXT H440, Im not sure on the pricing, But the Phantom Full tower is better than the 530, Otherwise its more down to personal preference, But the R4 May be slightly quieter. But the H440 will be the quietest of them all, although doesn't support radiators.

The phantom 530 is not a full tower? Why do you think the 410 / 440 are better?
