For reference I've been building computers for 16 years as a hobby and some paid gigs. I built maybe 200 pieces plus or minus. Carbide is far from a bad case. However, compared to a fractal, it is simply incomparable. I assembled about 12-15 PCs with different fractal bodies. I keep trying other cases as they come out and nothing is really close. Last weekend I assembled 2 computers side by side. One of them, one with fractal C. It's crazy how much more elaborate the fractal is. Anything the builder wants the fractal has thought through for you. Not to mention the sheer quality of assembling the fractal. IMHO they are way ahead of everyone else in terms of price. The 270 has great fans and cooling options and lots of space. It's pretty easy to embed. To be honest this is a great mid-range case. If you're really on a budget and can't afford the Fractal C, S or R5, get this one. For your health.
