What is your 'this case is perfect but...'-case?

What is your 'this case is perfect but...' case? For me it's the EVGA  Hadron Air. Problems: Can't fit a big aircooler in there (Bequiet Dark Rock 3). Can't fit a 240mm in the top. PSU is loud and non-modular. 

 

 

 

Which one is yours?

The Corsair 750D is perfect for my build, but nothing :D That's why I threw my 800D to the curb and moved over to a 750D.

But nothing, there's nothing I don't like about it :S

 

I could say what I didn't like about the 800D I guess, it had a lot of useless stuff in it that took up space, the hard drive cages weren't removeable (had to mod them out) I didn't like the hotswap hard drive thing and the price was pretty crazy (750D costs 1/2 and is so much better).

But the black is much more sexy on the 800D will have a 750D custom painted in 800D black. (Yes that is a shad of black. I will tell them to paint it in 800D black. :D )

I love my case, but the window is slightly too tinted.

I have the 2 cases 1.5m from each other. They are pretty much the same, except for the front I guess, the 800D is a bit darker and glossier.

Cooler Master N200 is an awesome microATX budget case, but if only it had a hole to cleanly route the 8-pin power connector near the top....

Bitfenix Phenom, best looking case I've ever seen, but that horrible airflow.

And the Silverstone FT04, soooo good looking (and fits more hardware than ^^) but I don't like the internal layout.

Arc Midi R2 can fit only a shallow triple 120mm rad w/ minimum modding. has potential for triple 140mm rad.

Fractal Design Define R4, but it needs either triple rad (3x 140mm if possible) support in the top or in the front, with the option to offsetting it.

bitfenix shinobi windowed. looks good (to me) downsides small window (i have a plan for this) non-removable hdd mounts (personal preference) red acents for the mesh and logo. so all in all what i want in a case can be achieved by a hack saw and planning

You hide all the cables behind the drive mount! Looks tidy enough,+ you route the wires through the 5.25 inch bay and under the floppy bay.
