I have just changed my build and i decided to use my NZXT Phantom But I also wanted to Watercool in it but it is dang near impossible to fit Watercooling in. So I am looking for a new case.

 

​Requirements:

 

Metal 

No LEDs Or LEDs That I can remove

Side panel window

NO PLASTIC

$200USD I could pay a bit more but ONLY if it is worth it.

I would like Full Tower

White

USB 3.0

Good Cable management

I dont need a lot of HDD bays i only need 2 or three so a case with removable drive bays would be a plus

Like I said Good watercooling support

I like fans A LOT

I like larger cases so size doesnt matter if you think it is to big

A bottom compartment would be nice

Painted interior

Standard atx layout

 

 

 

I think that is it. Hopefully it isnt impossible to find one.

I'll keep an eye out, but most cases are going to have some plastic. Whether it's a bezel or something like that. All metal cases like that are probably going to be expensive.

GPU: MSI GTX 670 PE @ 1411/7387

I wanna go fast! :P

Pick one and be done with it already! There is no need to make a thread off of every whim your mind concocts. You like the phantom. Pick the phantom!

Here's one. Not sure if the bezel is plastic.

Cooler Master HAF X

 

+1

 

If you can accept a little bit of plastic, the Define R2 XL might be worth a look. It's not CRAZY compatible with Water Cooling or fans, but it gets the job done

I was thinking of this one, I would have to paint it though, which i guess isnt that big of a deal http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811815011

 

Or im thinking the tjo7 I would have to paint the MB tray any way so i might as well just paint all of it.

Fair enough then, maybe the HAF X then.

There's is no case that will fit your criteria 100%

Or at least not in your budget. If you can spare another 70$ go for the Corsair 800D

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139001

This pretty much does all the things you want. Minus the white paint.

Plastic isn't always bad. It's much lighter than steel. If it's built correctly, it'll last for a very long time. Don't restrict yourself too much. You don't need to get an all plastic case, but plastic bezels and whatnot are fine.
