Can you please help me choosing one of these cases ?
I like the Corsair 200r because it seems the most durable one , but don't like the simple looks . Also , 2 fans is pretty low considering 2 of them have 5 included . I like that it has some sort of rubber for noise cancellation for the fans . And no front pannel dust filter , or at least I haven't seen one , plus I don't like that It's not flly open , not sure about it's airflow .
The Deepcool Kendomen is ok , but seems pretty unsolid . I just like it cause it has 5 fans , but no good dustfilters .
The Corsair Spec 03 seems to be the 200r but with different looks and window pannel . If I'm wrong , please correct me .
The Zalman Z11 Plus is my favourite , 5 fans , dust filters everywhere , I like it's looks a lot , but not sure if it's that durable , plus not sure if i can trust the Zalman company (seems like a chinese one).
Please help me decide

1| More fans doesn't necessarily mean they are better. More fans also means that they will be making more noise as they push air through the chassis in spite of restrictions.

2| It's unsure at this point what you mean by not fully open

Looks very open to me IMHO.

3| The Spec 03 is almost the same, just that 2x 2.5" drives are possible for population as opposed to the 4x 2.5" drives population capability in the 200R.

4| From the way your post reads, it's looking like your swayed towards the Zalman case. Seems like you want to hear us say what you want to hear :p

Tell you what, how about you pass on your full system's specs and ofc a list of things you want your case to include. Once a budget is passed, we can help you find a case of your liking...? SOund good?

True . From those cases i went to phanteks p400s , and then to the define s , just because i might do watercooling in my system

Hmmm, I hear ya. Lots of room to work with if you want to go for custom level watercooling. If going with AIO's then no problems what so ever due to a number of mounting options. I would like to stress though, please read through the watercooling sticky(in my sig space) if you're considering the jump to (proper)watercooling. If you think you're ready for it then be sure to open a thread and hopefully I''ll jump aboard to offer my support ;)
