ok so im looking for a mATX case. my future build might be a little creative. can you guys help me look for cases. it has to have atleast one drive bay on front panel. with USB 3. and a window side panel. some decent cable management(by decent i mean little to barley none) i dont care about the price. it has to be high quality. not alot of plastic. though some plastic is fine. and it has to have dust filters. 

Space Journal #1: So Apparently i  was dropped on the moon like i'm a mars rover, in a matter of hours i have found the transformers on the dark side of the moon. Turns out its not that dark since dem robots are filled with lights, i waved hi to the Russians on the space station, turns out all those stories about space finding humans instead of the other way around is true(soviet Russia joke). They threw me some Heineken beer and I've been sitting staring at the people of this forum and earth since.

CaseLabs S5 or CaseLabs SM5. Both excellent quality cases, no plastic, all high quality aluminum pieces. Currently as of Jan 29th, 2014, the website (Caselabs-store.com) is down so you can't go visit the website.

No dust filters, but you can buy a DEMCI filter kit.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.
