Hey Guys,
I have a Gigabyte GA-H81M-S Micro ATX Board. I am planning to shift from my old case to a new one since it got rusted. I am planning on buying a Corsair Carbide SPEC-03 which both ATX/Micro ATX Compatible or Corsair Carbide SPEC-M2 which is only Micro ATX Compatible. Can anyone suggest me on which one to buy in terms of cable management and airflow and compatibility and will it affect the length of my cables from my Corsair VS450 PSU. Thanks in advance :)

Well the cable management layout looks to be about the same with either case, so I don't think you have to worry about it too much there. I don't think there will be any issues with your Mobo either, since both support mATX Mobo's. Also I don't see why the VS450 PSU should limit you on which one you buy, since either case isn't a full ATX sized case.
I do like the SPEC-03 over the SPEC-M2, because it has 2 x USB 3.0 ports and the M2 only has 1 x USB 3.0 and 1 x 2.0 ports on the front. If you want to keep the case on the smaller side, the M2 would be just fine for that option. So in short, you have 2 good affordable options.
