Looking for a newer case with the best airflow and easy to clean off dust (preferably no translucent panel)

Hi everyone, to finish my build I need a new case that is easier to clean than my current S340 which literally has parts I cannot get to.

The most important part is that it has great airflow and either comes with fans, or you can recommend me fans alongside it that are as quiet as possible. I only need 2-3 drive bays for ssd's.

It's need to fit a Noctua DH-15.

Are there variants of these, or perhaps bought separately, panels that do not have glass in them? I prefer not to look in the case.

For the meshify C for sure. Unsure of the others

I just bought two of these. I've not built in them yet, but they look promising. I didn't like the look of any of the other high air-flow cases I saw, so went with the 500dx. Although Steve didn't pick the best shot for his thumbnail. It looks better than that. :D

 

This particular case did really well with the stock fan config, so if you don't want to buy any extra fans it's a great choice, but I'd recommend you watch the video before deciding.

Alright! I've settled on the Lancool II Mesh, seems to also be the newest case and it has a switch to adjust the fan speed as well as it ssems to have the better airflow.

Good Decision!!

And it had room for all my drives. Out of sight.

The only thing is about these, is that they DO have glass side panels.

I saw you mention in the beginning that you didn't want that.

 

Since I don't have much RGB (GPU logo and MB has a small strip under it.) it is pretty dark when you look at it.
