I'm indecisive about these two cases - I know they each have their strengths and weaknesses (Hardwarecanucks did a direct comparison video).
This poll is intended to gauge which case you think is better overall or even specifically to my build.

A couple of other notes: I will likely OC and have dual-970s (SLI) in the future. There is a small chance I may want to try my hand at water cooling systems.
