My current case is R6 and I like that the panels have sound dampeners. 

 

I am getting another PC for VR, but ATX mobo/psu is sufficient for me and I don't need a lot of space (like EATX case), just basic GPU/M2, nothing else fanciful like water-cooling or space consuming.

 

I just have a few requirements:

- white (at least outer) colored case

- usb c port infront (preferably usb 3.1 gen 2 aka usb 3.2)

- intake fans have to have dust filters at least (including for psu) for easy removal to wash. preferably if the case comes with (or at least have mounts to support) 2 front intake and 1 exhaust at the back

- sound dampeners like the R6 for side panels

- 'compact' enough (not too much space wastage and comfortable to build) for m/atx board

- able to support 300mm gpu at least (though up to 328mm would be nice to allow some leeway, but i am guessing mATX/ATX cases should have sufficient room)

- no watercooling/pwm/hdd case/mount etc needed

- not a fan of lights and glass too

 

Any suggestions for such cases (if it exists?) would really be great.. I initially wanted to go for ITX since it's just an M2 and GPU, but I read that ITX cases are quite hot, and I can't find any white cases with good sound dampening and couple case fans that also has a usb-c, so I decided not to go that route but I am open to suggestions!

while this case if probably larger than you want it is quite good. the phanteks p600s has dust filters where needed, usb c front, sound dampeners, able to hold large gpus, it does have a tempered glass side. it has a all white option

Thanks for the suggestion! Yea seems to check most boxes but it is a little larger than I would’ve like (it’s huge! Especially if I might be going mATX) and physically the place where I want to place it at don’t have enough height clearance for it too..
