What sort of cases do you like, bold cases, clean looking cases, aggressive looking. Im asking this because you might be an NZXT phantom fanboy or an define R4 fanboy. People like different designs so maybe you should tell what genre you are part of of.

The new Corsair Air 540 case is a product that I can recommend. The case is very clean looking, it has an large side window and is one of the best ventilated cases on the marked. It is a cube case which is a little different from the other cases on the marked. When it comes to cases it`s all about personal taste, but this could be a good suggestion.

This case looks great I've been think of it for my next build, its only $130 us on amazon. Not sure about euro pricing though but its a little over.

I second the AIR 540. But its a case you either hate or totally love because of the unconventional design. I personally own one and love it coming from a 600T. Its on my avatar.

 

If the Air 540 isnt your type of thing, then maybe a Define R4 would be my second choice.

I would also recommend the define r4. Perhaps a arc midi r2 if you don't like having a door.

n400 feature no cable management what so ever and a bad psu filter but is "tiny" at 40liters for a atx case with dual 240mm rad support.

for comparaison sake a prodigy(mitx) sits at 36liters.

the cm n200 (matx) is 34liters.

a node 605(atx) is 27 liters.(htpc case)

i m tempted to buy it and use lots of cable ties just for the form factor

Anything I write is just a comment, take is as such, there is no guarantees associated with anything I say.

ATX Portable rig (smaller than prodigy(LOL)) :  Nmedia 2800 | Gigabyte Z77x-ud3h  | Corsair HX1000 | Scythe Big Shuriken | i5 3570K  |  XFX R9 290 DoubleD | Corsair Vengeance 32GB

Corsair 600T(M) or Corsair C70, both are amazing IMO.  Having trouble choosing between them both currently LOL

Did that level of stupidity come naturally?  or did it take practice?

The corsair c70 has good cooling and can come with a window. :D

It has fan mounts on the Acrylic :( It looks horrible.

NZXT Tempest 210 or 410.

 

Amazing airflow. Got the fan on an overclocked 7850 to turn off when not under heavy load and only 30% fan speed when running furmark.
