NZXT Phantom 530 vs 630

Hardware Hub Cases / Chassis
1
Hey I am looking to buy one of these cases but I can't decide which one is best.

On the 530 (http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/134-phantom-530.html) it has a big side window and a fan which is what I want, but the case is smaller.

while the 630 (http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/118-phantom-630.html) on the other hand has the smaller window which only shows of the CPU but has the giant 200mm fan on the side.

But if I were to get the 630 windowed edition (http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/125-phantom-630-window-edition.html) it has the big window but no fan!

I just can't decide which out of the three to get! 
 
Thanks in advance :)

I was looking at these the other day but then I decided to get http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/111-switch-810-case.html because its around the same price but muuuuch bigger.

Well both cases are great.

the 630 is offcourse abit bigger, and it its a littlebit more luxe. usb 3.0 and usb 2.0 ports. If you decide to go with the 630, then in my opinnion definitely the windowed version, it looks damm sexy ☺

I have the Phantom 530 my self.

Ok so you recommend the 630 because I think that is the one I want, I am just trying to convince myself that I don't need the extra 200mm fan on the side hahaha.

Thanks for replying!

Yeah but I don't think I need a case that big as this isn't meant to be a GIANT build but just your average one :)

Totally unrelated to the OP, but I was curious, are you using the included fan hub? If so, are the fans noisy or have you found a way to make them run slower (reduce the voltage somehow)?

i use the fan hub indeed, in my opinnion the fans are not that loud?

i think if you want more silence, then you dont realy need a diffrent fan controller, but more silent fans like noctua´s or whatnot, but in my opinnion the stock NZXT fans are not that noisy. i use the fan hub on its full speed at the moment, and i dont experiance the sound as annoying.

offcourse you can allways use an aftermarket fan controller if you like.

I just got the 530, and love it.  It has so many options packed into such a low price point case, including the easily removable drive trays, back panel ssd slot and fan controller, and I wanted a case that had little to no side ventilation to maximize full case airflow.  Can't speak much about the 600 series as I haven't owned one, but I'm LOVING the 530.

Ok, I think I am going to go with the 630 windowed edition.
