The Corsair C70 is a good choice for a good airflow case. For the H440, your power supply would probably have to face downwards (fan pointing towards the floor)in order to allow your psu get fresh air since I dont see any hole for the power supply intake if the fan points up.

Hi guys, I was wondering if you could suggest me a case that has the following criteria:

 

1. A window

2. Atx Mobo support

3. Good build quality

4. Easy cable management

5. High airflow

P.S. Silence is not a top priority but it would be nice. 

 

phanteks entoo pro

1a. window and PSU cover

2a. ATX to E-ATX

3a. better than current Corsair cases

4a. vast area behind motherboard and velcro tie downs

5a. filtered front intake for 2x 120 or 2x 140 or 1x 200 fans

 

can be configured many ways for air or water cooling

$99 shipped from phanteks direct (US only) or newegg.

Thanks for all the responses I am looking at either the Phanteks case, Cosair 750d or the NZXT H440

H440 needs static pressure fans to cool it down.
