Recommend me a Case (Full Tower)

[Bluestar]

So i want to upgrade my case however i am not sure what case should i get. I currently have Corsair C70, i love it but its gotten rather small over the years of upgrading.

 

I still need at least 2x 5.25 front drive bays, at least 3x 3.5 inch hdd slots and at least 2x 2.5 inch ssd slots.

I have E-ATX motherboard and soon will be getting NZXT Kraken X62 CPU cooler.

Good airflow and cable management is a must.

 

Bonus points:

-Carrying handles

-Easy to open sides

-See-through pannel

-Quiet

-RGB

-Price under 250€

 

I am open minded so feel free to recommend me anything.

What about the Thermaltake Suppressor F51? I think it should be enough room for all of your hardware, although it doesn't feature RGB oder side panel windows...

the phanteks enthoo pro is awesome, linus made a review of it a few years back, cable management excellent according to him.

Out of curiosity, how open are you to 0 5.25" bays? This would open a lot of options for you, but if it's a hard requirement I wont press it.

Phanteks Enthoo Pro TG (there's an RGB version) (The only difference between this and the Luxe is the Real aluminum vs plastic aluminium looking exterior, and more closed off front intake)

be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 (not the best for airflow though)

 

There's also the older Corsair 750D Airflow and 780T

 

However removing 1 or even 2 5.25" bays opens up a lot of possiblities, most being "Mid tower" (that are kinda large)

 

1 5.25" bay

Fractal Design Define R6

Phanteks Enthoo Pro M TG (needs an "DLC" add-on hdd bracket to get up to 3 HDD's)

 

No 5.25" Bays

Phanteks Evolv X (Airflow is "okay", more DLC add-on brackets though)

Thermaltake View 37

Lian Li PC-O11 Air

be quiet! Silent Base 801

 

I have a sneaking suspicion the O11 Dynamic works as well but the official specs are 4 SSD's and 2 HDD's, I've contacted thema bout that.

I could probably get away with just 1 5.25" bay however i do need it, i have "smart card;sdcard reader + additional usbs" it is kinda needed to exist in Estonia so to speak. Thanks for your answer, its nice and detailed.
