New Case dilemma..

VIzMAN

I want a new case for my rig as the one I got originally is pretty crappy (CoolerMaster Elite 410), has no cable management in it (though I have managed to do an allright job with what I have to work with) and no 2.5mm bays etc. and with my 3 SSD's It's not really Ideal. 

So i'm in the market for a new case as of the end of this month. I do really like the Corsair 750D but I don't think that I will need the space that is in there as I don't really plan on watercooling. So my question is: What case should I get that has the same sort of look as the 750D that's maybe a bit smaller, has a window, good cable management and proper drive sled s facing the back of the case. 

 

Any brand will do as long as it's build decently so not necessarily Corsair.

Another case I was looking at was the NZXT H440 though I am not sure about the cooling efficiency though I do plan on going closed loop at some point soon.

I personally don't like full or mid towers. I would downsize to a 350d, but you probably don't want to go through all the hassle. I would get an r4 or h440.

you should invest in a case, because it's futureproof. So if you're going to do any watercooling in the future I would buy the 750D

forgot to mention that It does need to support ATX cause' I don't want to have to buy a new MoBo with the case.

It was leaked on corsair website, but they have since taken it down.

Looks good, but It doesn't look like it has a filtered front intake witch sucks.

I've never found some that look good enough for the place that my computer is stored, as it gets dusty easily...

Not a fan of the angular windows/vents etc on them, The H440 is the only NZXT case that I actually like.

You think those will work with Corsair SP120's that I already own?

I'll see if I can hold off on buying a new case whenever the 450D comes out then and I see what the price will be in the UK, shouldn't be that much though ~£100 I think.
