Case Considerations

[steelodon]

I am thinking of building a new PC. However, I'm undecided between three cases:

Antec Three Hundred Two
BitFenix Shinobi
Corsair Carbide 200R

Anyone own any of these cases? What are your opinions?

Out of those, Antec almost certainly has the best build quality.

Indeed, hands down. The 200R boasts an awful fit and finish. I was shocked the other week when I saw it.

BTW, a frakkin steal right now is the Arc Midi on Amazon for $56 shipped. It's not on your list, but nearly everyone else's. It's an R4 sans the plastic door and foam.

+1 to Arc Midi. Unbeatable at that price. Great cooling too with three 140mm fans.

+ 1 for the Antec model

yup, I was thinking of buying one as a spare at that price

Sorry,kinda off topic query.
The front panel of the Corsair Carbide 200R can be removed for cleaning ?
can I install another 120mm fan at the front bottom of the case ?
Sadly 200R case has only one dust filter for PSU.

Revolution, maybe those queries would be better directed to Corsair

I don't know about the other two, but definitely avoid the shinobi. Build quality is not that great. I concur with klienkinstein, Arc Midi is a good choice.
