Hey guys. Sorry for my English !! These two cases (NZXT Phantom 630 & Thermaltake Chaser MK-I) have both piqued my interest, and they both come in at the same price point. I need to know which will be a better buy based on the following criteria:
- cooling
- cable management
- build quality
- quality of stock fans

Phantom 630 ( more big , SD Card Reader , ,3 fans control speed .,but with awful drive trays )
Thermaltake Chaser MK-I ( more features in front , HDD Docking Station , E-Sata , Light Led Control Knob , 2 fans control speed )

Thanks

Cooling - Both will do quite well equally. Case fans won't mean much if you don't have a good heatsink.
Cable management - Slight advantage to Phantom 630 because of a better rubber grommet design.
Build quality - Both should be pretty solid considering its price.
Stock fans - Should be pretty decent for both.

My vote goes to Phantom 630 as its external design is less gaudy and more pleasing to the eyes than the Chaser MK-I but its really down to personal preference. The Phantom 630 drive trays aren't as rigid or better designed as the Chaser MK-I but it does its job well. On the Chaser MK-I, the trays are well made but I would have liked it better if it had a HDD backplane.
