Okay...
So I am looking at cases. I want the usual "Bang for my buck" type deal. I like these cases.

The above case is the better looking of the two, in my opinion. However, it's power sup is only 400 watt, whereas the second case's is 425 wat. This case has more ports than the second also, but does it look like cooling would be an issue? I am especially interested in the 7 3.5 bays...would this be a good case for a future RAID array?
Now the second...

How's the interior design working for ya? It has less bays, but the pow sup is larger and the system looks as though it would cool better. I really have no clue though, that's why I am askinbg you PC gurus. 11 of 12 customer reviews of this product gave it 5/5 stars, so it can't be too bad. The first case has no reviews, unfortunately.
All in all, I like the first case better, but I don't know which really IS a better case. I'm sure it's difficult to tell by just looking at it, but from a first-time pc builder's point of view, which is better?
Thanks,
