Just when I was ready to pull the trigger on the 230T, the 400R went on sale too.

230T - 69$ - 12$ MIR
400R - 89$ - 20$ MIR

Any advantages of the 400R over 230T? I noticed the 230T does not have gromments, however 230T has 320mm GPU support in lower slots vs 316mm overall for the 400R.

I also only have 1 DVD-RW, 1 SSD and 1 HDD. I don't plan to add any extra HDD's because I own a NAS hence don't need any more storage inside my computer other than immediate storage.

Want to pull the trigger by tomorrow to take advantage of the MIR, so fast replies very appreciated.
