Case choice for pc

Solution
This is somewhat tough, firstly because the 1st case is Russian, which makes it hard to find solid specs on, but from what I can tell, here are the pros and cons, and my take on the two:

1st case Pros: It's mATX, but has just as many fan mounts as the other, so it should be just as efficient at cooling but also be smaller. In terms of storage, there is conflicting information, but at worse, it has the same storage options as the 2nd case.
Cons: You'd have to find a new motherboard in order to use it, because you have an ATX mobo, which is too big for it. Also it's Russian, so buying it will be tricky, and shipping will be expensive, and if you need to RMA or need any other information, it will be difficult to deal with. Lastly, it's...

Also it's Russian, so buying it will be tricky, and shipping will be expensive, and if you need to RMA or need any other information, it will be difficult to deal with. Lastly, it's intakes are really small, there's just too much restriction for good air intake in my opinion. Doesn't have an optical drive slot- not a big deal, find any old ODD and link it up with your case open to install mobo drivers/OS and then you'll rarely need it afterwards, maybe once for an older game.

2nd Case Pros: It has more interior space, so it'll be easier to build and manage in, and has a fan mount right over the graphics card, which is good for cooling. Has ODD mounts, but for some odd reason, it only has one front fan mount- there are cases that are almost the same size that have 2 forward fan mounts and 2 ODD mounts. More room for expansion.

In the end, between the two purely out of what they are, the first one is somewhat better, but it's Russian, so unless you live in eastern Europe or Asia, it might be difficult or expensive to acquire. The second case its really not that good to be honest- there are many other cases that have more storage options and more fan mounts for about the same size, even in the entry level with the Corsair Spec 01/02/03. In short, neither is particularly exceptional, but the second does look really cool, I'll admit. What exactly are you looking for in a case?
