Any recommendations with these 2 cases? Or is there something better yet out there?
What I want is a handsome(no frills,gimicky) case with decent quiet cooling i.e. 120mm fans,front or top I/O,side-facing HD rack,preferably a removable motherboard tray.
I've been researching and came up with these 2 cases that seem to fit the bill,but can't decide between the 2.I'm actually leaning towards the Silverstone.
 
I've had both cases.

The Silverstone will be quieter because of it's steel construction and closed front bezel. But it has fairly poor ventilation due to it's very restrictive rear fan grill and very restrictive front bezel/fan area design. It's sideways HDD cage (it's only airflow consists of a series of 1/4" holes in the cage between each drive mounting position) will also restrict the airflow greatly. You'd have to do some modding to get this thing to breath right.

The P160 has awesome ventilation but will be a bit louder because of it's aluminum construction and rather open front bezel. Front bezel design is pretty yucky looking to me.

The P160 is the better case, out of the box, but if you were willing to sink some time into modding the Silverstone you'd probably be happier in the long run.
