Thanks.. any specific reason why you are preferring this one ?
 
The Masterbox is nice but it only comes with an exhaust fan,you need to add another 120mm intake fan which bumps the price up over 4000 inr.

That said the Spec 01 only comes with a front intake so you need to add an extra 120mm again for exhaust.
The antec comes with 3 fans but all fitted as exhausts out of the box.
You can however remove the top 2 & refit them as intakes so you wouldn't need to buy any extra.

The only reason that pushes me towards Corsair SPEC-01 is the amount of space available for graphics card. Corsair SPEC-01 has room for long graphics cards up to 420 mm, while the Antec-GX505 has room for long graphics cards up to 380 mm.

I feel like more the space more good for components, what do you say
 


Room above ,below & to the side is more important than room length wise to me - most gpu's are well under 300mm.

But yes ,youre right really ,the spec 01 has the best unrestricted airflow coming in from the front fan because its a meshed front & there is a clear space internally from that front fan directly in with with the gpu slot.

The fact its the cheapest means you can add a second 120mm fan for exhaust no problem at all.

I would say its only downfall is it is all a bit plasticky
