I didn't buy a modular power supply (not really sure why) so with all these cables, behind the motherboard tray has a significant bulge and that's with having cables also stuffed into unused drive bays. It looks ugly. I have a budget of ~$80 and want a case with decent airflow, ample space behind the motherboard tray, radiator mounting would be nice as well, and cd/dvd/bluray i don't care either way. Any suggestions, personal experiences, or current sales would be helpful. Thank you

The z11 is too "gamerish" for me. I want it to be simple and not too flashy.

Yeah, I would go with s340

OK so   the define r4 is definitely simple yet functional. I just saw this case reviewed by hardware canucks: Silverstone KL05. It looks like it was recently released but I'm thinking about getting this over the s340. Any opinions on the silverstone case?
