Although I am not a Corsair fan, I gotta say between the CM and the Corsair, the latter looks cleanner and better built. The CM has a blue led on top were the USB ports and power and reset switches are. You might like blue leds today but not tomorrow. Good looks is subjective so I will leave you to decide.
The CM has a removable HDD cage so that you can fit larger Graphics Cards and fit more HDD's in the future if you need it. The Corsair has the space to fit the cards but doesn't get the same removable HDD cage. It has the space and the holes to mount a cage but I don't see it featured in the website. You can probably get it as an accessory later on. The CM also gets an external Sata X dock.
What I like from the Corsair are the dust filters.
If you were to ask me I will go for the Corsair. I will never get to use that many hard drives. Dust filters is a must if you want to keep your rig clean, but if you favor storage space go with the CM.

I'd go with the CM Silencio. While the carbide series look great when new, the case finish (I've found) just goes to crap pretty quick. FX's post does bring up an important thing to consider, apart from function, and thats personal tastes. While some of us may prefer certain cases due to our own aesthetics, we don't have to look at the case on a daily basis, or use its functions. You do. So weigh this heavily, just which case fits your aesthetics better. My personal taste run classical lines, so my nice square subdued fractal design r5 is perfect for me and I can't stand the wild extravagance of the Apevia X stuff, yet some love those gaudy, extreme gaming cases and think my r5 is beyond boring.
Make a list of pros and cons and then decide if you can live with the answer, or keep shopping.
