Antec 1100 vs Corsair 300r (windowed)

[clusterfunked]

Help me pick a case!

Right now I am torn between these two cases:

I like the simple design of both cases and they both have a high end look to them.

Im new to this but I think the 300r will be a quieter case since it will take 6 140mm case fans as opposed to the 1100's 7 120mm fans.

what bothers me about the 300r is the placement of the window fans, i feel like they might get in the way of the coolermaster v6gt, also the lack of a back plate fan (not sure if this is an Antec gimmick, or really helps) since i will be overclocking.

They both look great, any thoughts?

Both cases have the exact same case fans. I wasn't aware that a windowed version of the 300R existed but that's good to know.

The 300R has front USB 3.0 and dust filters - if that's something you're considering then go with the 300R. The Antec 1100 will support larger motherboards, so if you plan to use something like the EVGA Z77 FTW then that will be a better case for it.

the 1100 is quieter. it uses the same chasis as the p280 which is quiet

i personally think that the 300r with windows look weird but its your personal choice
