btw, wich would you choose then, and why?
 
They both have good points, but I like the AreoEngine a little better.
I like the window,I like the fan in front and the floppy on the bottom.(especially if your mobo has the floppy connector on the bottom too. I like it with the ALUM doors better than the plastic. It looks a little smaller, I liker that part better too.
 
I like the second better. I was going to bust into this thread and preach Lian Li, buuut you obviously picked two that you really like. So I'm not going to bother with that.
 
Lian Li for what i read are great cases, but the cheaper i can get one is 100 euros without window, and i want one, the window costs more 25
 
They both have good cooling. That's the first thing I look at. An intake and exhaust fan at 12cm blows plenty of air at minimal noise.
 
I like the Aeroengine 2. First off, lets go with Asethics. This case is sexy and beautiful. Great airway and flow to make your case cooler. Its a midtower, and unless you are serving or are a storage freak (like 6 or 8 hard drives) its the better choice. Not too big, not too little, and Maximum PC and CPU have given it great reviews. That Masstige is nice, but its a tower, and fit for a server really. It does allow more room for you, which means, if you dont load it up, you still have a good airway flow, room interior and room to grow. It has more space, so you can work without being cramped. Easier to work in, can have maximum airflow between components.

In the end, Aeroengine 2 is sexier, great airflow and just all around gorgeous. I have other case nods, but since you are set on these two, go with Aeroengine. Im sure you wont regret it. Check maximumpc.com or cpu.com. There are reviews on this case there. Have fun. Either case would be a true joy to own ;)

EDIT: It looks like a tower, let me rephrase that. My eyes arent the best, so I coul dbe wrong. And by tower, I mean like not midtower, but like server tower or hugeness :)

Ahh, I stand corrected. As I said, my eyes arent the best. Perhaps too many frag fests? ::devilish grin::
