Default Silverstone TJ07 vs Corsair Obsidian 800D

so I'm gonna get one of these two cases, If I go the Silverstone TJ07, I will powdercoat it or maybe Murdermod. Both in the future will have Watercooling solution. I know the TJ07 is a little more expensive, but it's Silverstone. I would like for you guys to give good/bad points on both of these cases. And pictures of your TJ07 or 800D will be awesome too

I am in love with the corsair obsidian case... and if you purchased it this would please me, as I could live vicariously through you (jk ).

The obsidian is made of steel though, and I think the silverston aluminum. So the silverstone would be a lot easier to mode if that is what you wanted to do.

this just reminded me....yesterday I had a dream that one of my best friends won the Obsidian case and he didn't even have any hardware to put in it cause he's a laptop gaming believer and I asked if I can buy it from him and he said "no i need it" ***!?

What parts do you intend to put water blocks on? You should only need a 3x120-size radiator, and in that case, the Obsidian would be perfect as it's designed for one up top (or just 3 fans if you don't use water cooling).
