Area 51 R1 vs XPS 730X case user preference
Two system available on local market both need some drives to pick up, both affordable
both X58. Question is whether to pursue or pass
imo R1 way too big and harder to access guts due to hulk like spaceship design and not optimal door design both side n front just hard to dismount
Cass is R1 aficionado so likely favor the former
730x has a club following while R1 not so. Seems predator R1/R2 are more popular.
Your take?

Get them both, and sell the Area51-R1 to the person in the other thread that is looking for one.
My two Intel-i9 desktops are both in variations of the Corsair 5000D Case (with iQue).
