The arc is wider, which is a big plus. More width = more space behind mobo tray and/or more room for heatsinks.Originally Posted by jvkua 
I'm actually about to purchase a new case and space for me is an issue. After I checked a lot of cases, I thought that Fractal Design had the best cases that fit exactly my purposes, which is good cooling and easy installation and upgrades. So my main question is actually, Is there a notable difference between the Core 3000 and the Arc Mini?
I will be running the case with it's stock fans and I won't be buying newer fans for awhile.
Is the $20~ price difference between the Arc Mini and the Core 3000 worth it?

The arc mini has 2x120mm fans on the front whereas Core3k has 140+120, that may be a pro or a con to you. Personally, I'd probably get the Arc out of those2.
What kind of cpu cooling will you be running? If a heatsink, switch the rear exhaust over to front so you have 2x front, 1x top and the heatsink fans pushing either through the rear exhaust vent or North-South so the heatsink exhausts through the top fan.

There is Literally nothing I dislike about this case.
