which one is better between above two in features and specially for big size graphic cards and cable management.

I love my CM scout. It too, has lots of space and great airflow.

I like that I can turn the LEDs off. (not a bling style person lol) The handle is super handy! I move the case from my office to the living room (where my 1080p widescreen lives) a couple times a week and it is much, much easier with the handle, and it makes hooking and unhooking the cables easier too. (i.e. I can lift it out of my desk cubby with my right hand and unplug cables with my left without effort.)

The cable management is slick and easy, I have all my plugged molex connectors behind the motherboard. The expansion card clips that everyone complains about are handy as long as you don't push them the wrong way. I could see how they'd break if you force them the wrong way, but for me it wasn't an issue, and you could always just use screws. I _guess_ I wish it had a firewire port on the front, but I plan to buy a cardreader with one included anyway so it wasn't a big deal for me. I truly can't say enough good things about this case, and it was on sale with a CM 600w 80+ modular power supply for like $50 off from the egg.
