I have the Lian li and did a build for my bro with the Corsair 540 and have a tj11, tj07,ft01,ft02
Lets see Lian li vs TJ04 vs Corsair 540

Lian Li
1.ahLian has a very hard cable management especially the 12 EPS at the top. Its doable but need some force to get it through.
2.ahlian is more of a aircooling case.
3.Build quality is the best of all 3
4.ah lian dustfilter for the side just go get a silverstone magnetic filter or just mod for a plexi/glass solution on the side. Not a big con as it can be modified with Rm50 or less.

Tj04
1.TJ04 is heavy cause it uses steal body while lian li is full alu.
2.TJ04 cooling on those hdd Racks aint sufficient for a 24/7 rig for the HDD and theres no air being fed to the GPU's directly but being some kind of deflect tech etc.
3.TJ04 has better clearance space at the top for a H100i ( again not sure but definately more space) than ahlian.


Corsair 540
1. Corsair only con is limited HDD racks and no direct cooling at all. Its more for SSD's at the back and hdd at the bottom on the first bay.
2. It can be a high end air/water cooling casing.
3.Its the most expensive compared to the two above by nearly 70 percent.

Looking at ure choices i would
take lian li if hdd cooling and 24/7 rig is important to u
or corsair 540 if hdd is not a issue and u want ultimate air cooling and expand-ability case.

carbide 500r is a good case but not in the same league as the 3 above. Its more a direct competitor with Cm690.
It has a lot of function, cable management etc at the expense of casing material build.
corsair 550d abt the same at tj04 but better cable management.
