Need New Case

I currently have a FractalDesign Define Nano S. I previously had a Define R5. But I really didn't like it too much.

 

I have a Mini-ITX motherboard. So basically any case.

I would like the ability to house an AIO Radiator. I have a Corsair H75, but may update later.

I want tempered glass, but really don't know where to turn for that.

Dust filters are a must.

I want it to be QUIET. The R5 was good, even though it had 6 fans going...

 

Price range is around $100. Give me a good reason, and I can go upwards of $150...

 

Anything I forgot, ask.

The Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX TG and NZXT H200i ITX are two good looking cases. Check out the reviews done by HardwareCanucks on both of these cases and see which fits your needs.

IDK, each has their pros and cons. At least this is something to start on :)

The H200i has better airflow, but "doesnt look as good" however both are the only two mITX cases I know of that have TG.... Tempered glass is only mainstream on ATX cases right now, they have yet to fully trickle down far into mainstream mATX and mITX cases. There ARE a few susper small cases that support TG but not all of them support Water cooling like the Ncase M1 and the upcoming dan C4 SFX, niether I believe are under $100 and you'd probably give up most watercooling support

I personally would go with the H200i for the airflow.
