Hello!

So, I am looking for a case to transfer my Alienware X51 R3's components into, and also buy a new gpu (GTX 1070), and I have found these cases:

Fractal Design Define NANO S
NZXT Manta

Cost and size doesn't matter right now. Please consider cooling, hardware support, cable management, space efficiency and airflow to the GPU.

Thanks.

Cases are very personal items. You have to look at them, deal with them, clean and maintain them etc. So purchasing a case that's at least pleasing to your eyes is a must. No point in buying a case everyone else guarantees is the best on the planet if you think it's the ugliest ever made.

Since both cases are quite equitable in quality, it'll be the little things that make the difference. Could be something as simple as the USB/audio ports being on top vrs front (I prefer top since my case sits very low) or maybe ease of getting to the dust filters, built in fan controls, amount of usb3 ports etc. So it's less about which actual case is better, and more about what fits you
