    Corsair 400R VS Corsair 500R

    Hi, I was just wondering if I should go with the Corsair 400R that comes at a cheap rate of $99 or for Corsair 500R which costs round about $129? I am using a pretty old Thermaltake computer case which is quite old and hence I was hoping that any of these Corsair case might be a decent upgrade for my system. Can anyone tell me whether I should go with any one of these case or some other one? Thanks

    I would suggest you to go with the Corsair 500R chassis, it is going to be a perfect upgrade for your system. This cabinet comes with good cable management and also with good fans. I believe that the build quality and design seems better on this Corsair 500R. You get a good space in this case and if you can go with the white colored one then you will notice that it looks pretty amazing.

    There is not much difference between the Corsair 400R and 500R case and the 400R also isnt that bad except the fact that it doesnt come with a 200mm side fan. The main thing to be considered here is the dust that settles in the case and there should be good filters to keep this dust out from the case. If you want to buy a filter for the sidepanel then it will cost you $20 for them.

    I have checked that the Corsair 500R has a fan speed controller that the Corsair 400R doesnt have. You also get a very flexible hard drive cage in the 500R case that can be compared with other cabinates like the 600T. At the side panel of the 500R you also get more fan size options. However, you can still go with the 400R if you want to save some bucks or else go with the white 500R which looks amazing.
