No RGB and no TG tower with great cooling?

I have a noname chinesium I have had for 5+ years I just swapped insides as I upgraded.

 

It has limited airflow and cooling, fans failing and sidepanel barely closes. And games are pushing gtx 1080 + i7 4770 to the limits - so heat is becoming a bigger issue.

 

Too early for a new build - but I can start with a case.

 

I don't want RGB or any transparent panels.

I want space, cable management and excellent cooling options (air now, water future).

 

I do not need optical or HDD bays. Ether sata ssd-s x2 or future m2.

Mid / tower - no midget cases or those "cool" transformer looking crap.

 

Silence is nice but not at the expense of cooling.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

Define R6 is pretty good as long as you take off the moduvents, front is still a little restrictive.

Looked at had - they do sell them, but the number of useless optical bays and HDD dock kind if ruins it.

On the contrary, my 2 3.5" bays are hotswaps for 3.5" HDD, 2 of my 5.25 slots contain the Evercool fan/SSD/HDD bracket (matches case perfectly) for 4 more SSD or 3 more HDD slots, and I leave the top one with the blank on however I contemplate buying a fan controller for that (these are expansion options of your choice they make TONS of things you can put in these slots).  I also keep it open only cause the WHAT IF I need an ODD...but my HTPC covers that and I can move stuff over network lol.  Check the temps in my sig on the 125w processor in it.  Inconceivable. :)

 

I run the fans at 40%, its near silent.

I have the TG version, however it has great cable management and cooling so I think the same applies to the non TG version.

After checking availability of stuff around here end up with define r6 black usb c - guess it comes as a model by default now.

Wit a extra 140mm noctua fan i'll be adding as bottom intake.
