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. |

Well, you could try;
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&hl=dust+filter http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&hl=dust+filter But I don't think there's a specially made dust filter for HAF-X bottom. My room is very dusty too. I thought of buying those dust filters from the link I posted and try to place it at the bottom, somehow. Dunno if it works though. |

i agree with zapdos9. I wish the they would combine the HAF's superb airflow with the Corsair's impeccable build quality and aesthetics.. I would've bought the Corsair if it were a full tower.. the 800D is just too expensive for me..
But the HAF does collect A LOT of dust... And bloody hell its heavy.. |

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! |

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 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. |

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.
