Can't decide which case...

I've narrowed it down to these 3 cases in order of preference.

1. CoolerMaster Stacker STC-101 Black
2. Lian-Li A10B
3. Silverstone TJ09
4. Lian-Li V1000B
5. Aerocool Masstige

My preferences are for a removable motherboard tray because I switch out hardware a lot and like to leave out my hardware on a table to test it before it goes in the case. This favors the TJ09 and A10B and even the Stacker (albeit a 15 screw removal... but I don't mind).

I also prefer room for wire management or at least to hide wires... and most of these seem to have enough room. The problem with the TJ09 is that there it seems hard to hide wires for the PSU since its at the bottom and it doesn't have its own compartment unlike the A10B.

I also like how the Masstige and V1000B are inverted because my case will be oriented in a way where the right side of the case is revealed an not the left.

Right now I'm leaning towards the Stacker... but I wanted to know if the right and left doors are interchangeable... meaning... can I place the mesh side door from the left and place it on the right side? I also like it because the Stacker can be had for around 140 and I can inlude a crossflow fan in it which can aid in cooling... is the Crossflow fan worth it? (in terms of noise and cooling power).

Thanks...

silverstone tj09 one of the best cases around

Thats right, a great case, but for wiremanagement there are better options ! It's quite a challange to get it done right :D
 
Just throwing a vote in for the A10. I love mine. Quiet, easy to manage cables and plenty of room.
 
Stacker :). I believe you can also invert it so it opens from the right side, if that's what you prefer.
