hi, i am looking at upgrading my pc and as the title says i have been looking at the
nzxt 530 source
nzxt phantom 410
nzxt h440 midi tower
i am not looking at water cooling and they are all equally appealing to me. if they are all equal i will go with the source due to the price but i would like to know if any of these cases way excel in
build quality
temperature
cooling
cable management

thanks

I'd take the Define S then.

Watercooling and AIO cooling are the same it's just the AIO's don't need assembly or a res as they have them built in, it's weird.

With a custom loop you have to buy a res whch generally in cases you'd have to drill holes but on the Define S there is a res mounting section (east of the motherboard).

The R5 is a tad quieter though (and very slightly) but smaller.

Overall with a custom loop PC the Define S is easier to build within.

The R5? Well it depends. From what I saw you're watercooling, right? Does this mean putting a Corsair H80 or something like that in there (AIO Cooler) or a fully custom loop?

The Custom loops are easier to build within the Define S as it's got a res mount and things like that but if you're using a AIO unit such as the Corsair H80i then take the Define R5

no, i'm not looking at water cooling (knowing my luck it'll break and drench my parts.) seeing as they are all of a very similar price and if i have a window it'll be against a brick wall i am wondering which of the models is best if there is a best choice
