Corsair Graphite 780t, NZXT H630 or Caselabs equivalent SM8

[springs113]

I am torn between these cases as they seem to be the only logical way to go after having the 900d, 700d and thermaltake core x9. Any words of wisdom out there on why or why not a certain case?
I wish the 600c from Corsair was a little bigger as that case is very appealing to the eyes as well as being functional.

I like the corsair, is white the only color?

Corsair's case is available in black, white, and yellow.

I'd say go for the Corsair chassis if it can fit your watercooling equipment, but only because I don't like the build quality of NZXT cases. CaseLabs is great, but expensive, and the Merlin SM8 can currently only be had in gunmetal or black.

I just got wind of the thermaltake x71 but upon looking at it it reminds me of my 900d just odd looking. It does accompany my whole setup if I were to transfer as is.

The 780T and H630 (let alone that flimsy copy of Caselabs that is Thermaltake's idea) are most definitely not in the same league as the Caselabs. If you

1. Care about how you can buy a ton of things in addition to your case for $450
2. Don't care for the aesthetics or unparalleled build quality/configurability of the SM8
3. Aren't crazy about having an extremely expensive custom loop, or don't care for making gorgeous air-cooled builds

then the SM8 is not for you. Simple as that. Obviously I see that you have a well-established loop, and what all Caselabs cases give you is unlimited potential for expansion and upgrade, but that comes at a very hefty price.

The H630 is a great-looking case, but as it was NZXT's first shot at a partially silence-oriented large watercooling case, it had a lot of kinks with temperature performance and design that were ironed out with the H440. Think of it as a proof-of-concept product; it looks great, but it's essentially a completely novel v1.0 idea that wasn't very thought out in a lot of places. So I think that the 780T is your best shot out of those three, unless you don't dig the edgy looks. If that's the case, then the 600Q or 600C might be a better choice (I prefer the minimalist design).

There is nothing wrong with NZXT cases, especially the likes of the H630, H440 and S340. They are very solid cases. I also think that the white-on-white would not be as interesting as a white-on-black palette, so I reckon it might be good for you to give the Corsair cases a try.

That Thermaltake case screams of "I completely ripped off Corsair" in the main compartment, and "I ripped off Caselabs, albeit at less than half the build quality" in the lower pedestal. All the better, since you said that you don't want a remake of the 900D.

How about the phanteks luxe/enthoo primo?
