I was actually in your place, couldn't decide between the two.

From what I understand 600T have bad airflow. One guy recommended me to change the fans to 2 x NZXT FN-200RB 200mm Case Fan and 120mm Scythe Fan for the rear (Ultra Kaze 3000). Since I can't find any shop or person selling those NZXT fans, I'm leaning toward HAF-X although I'm quite concern with the lack of dust filter at the bottom especially the PSU part.

Just want to note you guys lingloong is now selling the NZXT fan I mentioned. A friend of mine is going to buy a 600T and replace the stock fans with NZXT's.

Corsair good deal now RM479 (maybe tak laku biggrin.gif ) but been using it and no such thing as 'bad airflow' Cable management setup IMHO bit better than Half-X (I have both and 1 CM Scout)

Really?

For majority of users who rely on air cooling, this case is not recommended for them. But don't let me stop anyone from buying this case as it is your money, not mine. I do agree however it looks stylish.

relying solel;y on review itself and making conclusion is subjective but respectfully is your own conclusion either based on owning the product itself or just merely relying on reviews..go on a google all the reviews, you will find the opinions or conclusions that varies..bottomline, if the individual is using the particular brand (in my case, corsair), he is in a better position to state his opinion based on experience owning it right? biggrin.gif like I said I have both corsair and haf X...not much difference smile.gif cheers

HAF-X ...

For water coolers:
Can easily fit triple radiator at top. Potential to fit another 240mm radiator at bay. another potential 240mm at HDD cage area ( if no long graphic card )

For air coolers:
High air flow, good cooling for GPU. Dust filters ( though not so effective )

Feature:
Support E-ATX board. 9 slot for quad SLI setup. Good cable management feature.

Downside:
Its heavy, made of steel.

Personally I own a HAF-X, its an ideal case for all people, good pricing and feature and its full tower. The downside is its very heavy once fitted all hardware inside.

I'm kinda bias towards all things Corsair. They make good shit, and the design is well thought of.

I'd go with 600T!

LOL at the airflow diagram. What if I said that no air flow for the CPU area due to all gpu already sucking the fresh air out due to the stock exhaust design ? There are no such thing that little or no air flow at the heat sink area. And the 2nd concept, wont the radiator sucking all the hot air release from GPU ?

There will be still plenty of air for the CPU area unless the top exhaust is a very powerful fan. icon_rolleyes.gif

yeah..Haf-x is in a league of it's own..i agree with lichyetan..fully built very heavy, then again it's a full tower case meant for mid-hi end rage WC where else 600T is a mid-tower, perfect for beginners WC setup

design wise, I like Corsiar 600T more on the design. But HAF X on the interior and because its full tower. But actually, HAF X is a full tower that are not in maximum full tower size.
