Pick a case for me.

This is what I'm saving to build currently: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Yjtzpg

 

I've been thinking I want to go with a different case so, I was hoping some of the people around here could throw me some suggestions.

 

Here is what I'm looking for in a case:

 

Needs to be able to fit everything I want to put in it.

 

It needs to be a black case that has lots of room for cable management. 

 

No windows or anything too fancy.

 

It needs good airflow.

 

It also needs to be sexy while keeping it simple.

 

Not too expensive, please.

 

Go for it! :D

 

Sorry for the bad formatting

There is nothing wrong with windows on the case but, I'm just trying to keep this one looking simple while packing a huge punch.

If you want simple, then go with the R5 w/ window. The system will look classy, you'd be able to see all the components and the system will still be quiet.

I actually don't care about how loud my system is to be honest. :)

Well silence is always a bonus  :)

I completely understand the no-window thing.

FD Define R5 is a great case but it's a bit expensive for now. Arc Midi R2 has a window but it is smoked so it's not that bad - I personally tolerate those. Enthoo Pro is a case that has very many options in terms of water cooling and stuff, but I personally don't like the look.

I'm having a hard time picking between the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 and the Enthoo Pro...

Enthoo Pro imo.

Intel Core i3 2100 @ 3.10GHz - Intel Stock Cooler - Zotac Geforce GT 610 2GB Synergy Edition

Intel DH61WW - Corsair® Value Select 4GBx1 DDR3 1600 MHz - Antec BP-300P PSU

WD Green 1TB - Seagate 2.5" HDD 1TB - Seagate Barracuda 500GB - Antec X1 E.

I went with the enthoo pro even though it has a window.
