Hello I am finding it hard to decide between the two cases the storm trooper or obsidian 650d. The 650d has great looks even though it's a square and has a window. But the cooling doesnt look great with only 3 fans. The storm trooper has good looks as well and seems to have great cooling. But it doesn't have a window. I will have mid range hardware with thei7 2600k and h100 cooling it. Along with the new 7870. Please leave your opinions. Thx

both rigs look nice , but I have to disagree with hellfire ( cuz thats what I do ) I like the 650d better and in regaurds to the fan situation the front intake and roof exhaust fans are 200mm which could be swaped out for 120 mm x 2 0r 140 mm x2 , not to mention your h- 100 would fit nicely in the roof location . So I dont think ventilation will be a problem . But I have to say ( and I hate it ) Hellfires right in that its a personal choice .

the second link i gave has a check shops link--use that to see if any retailers in your country are selling the

case with the new panels already installed

not only do you get the window but the other side panel has even more room to hide cables

not that its really needed the cables i hid behind the side panel were ridiculous--i didnt even bother tidying

them just shoved the panel on--was amazed it went on with that amount of cables there

edit--my cable management skills are atrocious--inside this case is the tidiest build i have ever done

some photos of completed build--corsair h80 cooler--the h100 will easily fit in there
