Which is the better case?

Hi guys, sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but this one seemed the most appropriate to me :) A friend of mine and I are going to build our own pcs soon and currently we have gotten it down to two cases:
The Coolermaster Wavemaster: http://www.coolermaster-europe.com/nsite/products/chassis/wavemaster/tac-t01-ek/tac-t01-ek.asp
and the Thermaltake Tsunami VA3000BWA: http://www.thermaltake.com/xaserCase/tsunami/bwa/bwa.htm

Now I've done a bit of seaching around for reviews and stuff and the wavemaster looks like a most accomplished case indeed, which is tipping me towards it at the moment. However, Thermaltake is also a good brand, it is cheaper and also seems to have a modded side panel, which would save me from having to faff around with it myself :p The problem is, I have found almost no reviews and nowhere in the UK seems to have it in stock, so I'm thinking it's a fairly new case.

Which is why I'd like to ask you guys for your expert opinion on these two cases. Should I go for the Wavemaster or the Thermaltake? Is the Thermaltake any good? Which brand has the better rep?
Cheers in advance for any answers :)
 
I've never seen that thermaltake case til now but I have a wavemaster case and not only does it look very nice on the outside but the inside is nicely done also. To me the wavemaster is a nicer case because I'm not a big fan of all the flashy snap on easy to use crap that thermaltake adds to the case but it does add a lot of functionality to it if that's what you're looking for. Everything on the wavemaster is simple except for a removeable motherboard tray. There's no brackets to make drive installation easier or anything like that.
 
omg holy freakin jesus on a stick! i've never seen that TT but it is obvioulsy a huge rip on the wave master. i wonder if the wave master is going to be the next dragon. i would go with the wave master its probably going to be a better quality.
 
Yea I'm a bit wary of thermaltake normally because of all the flashy stuff on their usual cases, but this one seems to be better value, but I do like the look of the wavemaster better :p So I'll wait till someone has had any personale experience of the thermaltake before deciding :)
 
Coolermaster is a lot better, but the wavemaster doesn't have very good airflow. Theres no hole in the front to blow air in.

There's vent holes behind the led lights on the front and there's 2 quiet 80mm fans that cools all of the 3 1/2" bays.
