Need some case recommendations

Hiya, I'm thinking about getting a new case. I currently use a silent base 800 and my temp are good but they could be better (me living in Texas and weather is picking up) can I get some recommendations for airflow cases?

They don't necessarily need to be sound suppressant but something reasonable would be good. I also have a NH D15 so something that could fit that would be good, seeing as it touches my panel when I close it.

NZXT H440 Is A decent case for airflow and its very very good looking, only thing thats missing is it does not have any hot-swap bays.

It really isn't, the three fan's on the front are so restricted by the tight fan-filter, very restrictive intake and much blockage from the HDD's and HDD cages.

If you are running a radiator on top you should be fine if you rotate the back exhaust fan to be an intake.

 

BUT, it's very easy to hide the excess cables from the PSU in the PSU shroud which will give less airflow restriction (having very few cables hanging around) but it won't help all that much, most for looks :)

The H440 is extremely beautiful though, i'm loving mine ;)

Thanks for all the replies, i think i may go with the air 540. It looks like my D15 should sit with at least an inch between it and the side panel
