Cooler Master Centurion 5 vs Cavalier 3

I am in need of a new case as my current one does not have enough hard drive bays for me. While searching for cases, I ended up between these two cases; the Centurion 5 and Cavalier 3. For those that have one, both, or know something that does, please help me decide.

Centurion 5
I like to place the tower right on top of the desk next to the monitor so noise is a issue. I'm afraid that the Centurion 5 front metal mesh is going to have noise leak out and make it unbearable.

Cavalier 3
The Cavalier 3 seems like noise should not be a issue, as it's pretty much enclosed. With that, i'm afraid that my system is going to be a little too warm in there...

My system is linked below for all heat/noise generators. Which would you say is best suited for me?

Thanks

i had a cavalier and have seen centurion in person. cavalier looks way better and more professional. i suppose that centurion would cool your computer better since it has the mesh front while cavalier has to get air from the opening at the bottom of the front panel. not sure about the noise level of the centurion, but the cavalier was pretty quiet. Hope this helps 🙂
 
I just got my system set up in a Centurion 5 and I really like it. I bought the model with the side duct and I removed the front 80 mm fan. So far the system runs cool n quiet (even without cool n quiet enabled.)
