Default Corsair Obsidian Series 800D vs others :P

Soon i will buy a new case for my rig,yeah cosmos 1000 is nice is beauty its....i dont have words to express my feeling but the time has come for something else to take its place.

I was thinking to but the new corsair 800d it looks absolutely beautifull with black color but also has other things like the Removable CPU backplate panel , Isolated cooling zones and other stuff.

On the other hand silverstone has good cases as well and coolermaster but im not sure what to choose.

Where do you think should i look for a case corsair coolermaster silverstone or anything else that its good for better airflow and case temperatures.

Edit : as soon as i replace my case asus maximum formula and q9550 waiting to be installed for benchmarks only

I've got a 800D, and I think it's awesome, love the amount of room you get with it, makes working with it nice and easy
Also as you said, its got a very nice sleek and polished look, not all flashy lights etc
Only downside is moving it :p

How about get both, tis what I've done, 2nd hand prices FTW
I wouldn't pay full price for one, but that's because I wouldn't pay that much for any case, apart from possibly the TJ07, which i think is the nicest case EVER.
I got mine for around half price (£120)

If you don't need to case it, the Bancheto 101 is unbeatable

The 800D has a lot of space but won't hold a 4-way SLI Classified or Gigabyte G1:Assassin mobo. Not sure I'm convinced yet with their air chamber idea, but I'll find out soon. Just built a dual loop 980x/GTX 590 gamer with it so I'll find out.

I like the CM HAFX for the airflow. also has sata3 ports on the front
