Hi, I'm trying to decide whether i should buy a Corsair 900D or a dark base pro 900.

I found a used corsair obsidian 900D for about 140 usd (the msrp where i live is 426 usd) compared to the 256 usd msrp for the dark base pro 900. Im however a little concerned that the 900D is overkill for me, since i don't use water cooling, and don't use SLI/crossfire. But on the other hand if I'm going to upgrade later, i have the appropriate case for it. Considering these factors, what case should i go for?

Which one do you think looks better? For me, aesthetic is usually the deciding factor, once I'm happy that the cases I'm comparing have good functionality and price.

Another way to think about it: the dark base costs almost twice as much, do you like it almost twice as much? As a deal-hunter, the $140 for the 900D is very appealing.

I like the dark base pro 900 a lot more, aesthetically speaking, in particular because of the tempered glass side, i also like that the dark base pro has build in wireless charging. I don't like, however, that there is no bottom cooling in the dark base, but i wouldn't really be able to tell if i need it that much.
