Phanteks P400S / Fractal Design Define C

Does anyone have experience with both cases? I have the P400S but I'm planning on a new build and I'm debating whether or not to keep it.

While it's a good case there's a few issues I have with it.

  • The build quality is okay but the sheet metal is very thin, especially on the backside and the front fan mount.

  • When using 140mm fans on the front the mounting rails and the horizontal bars cause a quite severe humming noise. I didn't buy virtually silent even at max rpm Silent Wings 3 just to have noise caused by the case.

  • The front intake is very limited, causing a retty weak airflow.

How does the Define C hold up regarding these points?

The Corsair Carbide 400Q would be my fave looks wise but it has the same mounting system as the P400S and the cable management does seem as spacey as in the Define C.

I'm open for other suggestions, should be 100€ max, have a PSU compartment, no drive bays other than maybe a DVD bay.
