Replacing PC case

[msacco]

Hello, I'm going to replace my super old "in win ec021" case, and need some advice about it, I'll start with my specs:
i5 3470
Gigabyte B75M D2V
GTX 770 4 GB
2x RAM sticks

Seasonic 500W

 

Optical drive slot is a must unfortunately.

 

I thought of getting the following case:
https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Cases/Carbide-Series™-SPEC-03-Red-LED-Mid-Tower-Gaming-Case/p/CC-9011052-WW

Which looks fairly good to me, quite a lot of room, there are 2 front fans, 1 bottom fan(that will be intake fans), 2 top fans and 1 rear fan(that will be exhaust fans), which feels like the optimal airflow to me, can also try 4 intake and 2 exhaust.

 

What do you guys think? It that case ok? Any other recommendations?

95$ is around my budget limit, but really looking to spend around 70$ on it. Moreover, since I'm not from the US, prices might vary or not even be available where I live.

 

Thanks for the help.

Have you looked at the Define Focus G?

Wow...That was a freaking fast reply... ^^

I have looked at the Focus G, it looks kinda similar really, same fan configurations, the only difference I could see is looks and price(which is higher), any other specs which are better?

Focus G is 49$ while the spec 03 is 70, also not being sold anywhere anymore

As I said before "since I'm not from the US, prices might vary or not even be available where I live."

The spec 03 is 70$ for me, but the focus G is 80$ here, the only thing is if there's actually a difference.

Well where are you from so I can look in the correct currency?

I'm from Israel, one more thing I noticed about the focus G, is that I'm not sure I can actually install a bottom fan there, I believe you need to remove the HDD mount in order to do that, which is not really ideal for me. Do you know more about it?

Anyone? :)

Why not just keep the intake fans in the front? 2 intake 1 exhaust should be enough

I currently have around 6 spare 120mm fans unused, I don't see any reason not to take advantage of that.

Do you have a fan hub or controller? Because I don't see other way to connect 6 fans + CPU cooler to a motherboard with 2 fan headers, 1 of which is for CPU
