Bought a Micro-ATX board and have 2 cases picked out, both are compatible with my gpu and cpu cooling block. Wanted to ask your guys opinion, which is better and what are the differences.
Also, how does cable management compare?

Are there perhaps any better Micro-ATX cases for around the same price?
$20 dollars give-take.

Ok For Starters Both Cases Have Lots Of Room Behind The Motherboard So It Wont Matter Which One For That Aspect.

Secondly I Have Used The Corsair SPEC 01 And I Have No Troubles With Getting Air Into The Case But From The Looks Of The Second Case You Would Be Getting Lower Air Pressure Which May Choke Things Like Your Graphics Card.

And Finally The Corsair Case Has ALOT More Fan Placements But Lacks USB Ports Built In. If You Want More USB Ports Than Go For The Second Option But If You Want Better Cooling Go For the First One.

I have the Corsair SPEC-01 which I use for my Test PC. Cost me $77 from Centrecom in Clayton in July - They are still selling it at the same price. The Spec-03 has an extra fan mount, and SSD mounts. The SPEC-01 has a front USB 2.0. Otherwise pretty much the same.

I would stay away from MSY though. If you have problems more often than not they will fob you off if the device is not DOA. I've been bitten a few times by their refusal to honor warranties.

Either of the cases you list seem ok for your needs. Cases often come down to personal taste. There are 100's of choices and in the end there are only so many configuration combinations and it comes down to size and aesthetics.
