Can anyone recommend me a computer case. I been looking everywhere and I can't find anything that fits what I want for the past 4 weeks. (I'm going for a nvidia theme)

 

Requirements:

 

Must be a Black case

Must come with a front panel door

Must come with at least 2 5.25 in drives (or just one if it has a built in fan controller)

Must have 2 USB ports on it and one has to be 3.0 (both can be 3.0 though)

Must have a BIG sidepanel window (and the window can't have a spot for a fan)

Must have support for a 240mm radiator

Needs to at least support 12.5 inch GPUs

Must at least be a ATX Mid-tower, will take a full tower if it meets everything else

 

Two cases that I found that might meet these requirements, but I wanted to know if you know anything about them?

If you're willing to have a max GPU length of 12.2 in, get the fractal design define R5. To be frank, 12.5 in is ridiculously long (no dick joke intended), and I doubt you'll find a card that long

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

You're looking at cases that are decidedly low end, did you have a budget in mind?

Under $150 would be nice

The original card I wanted was the Zotac GTX 980 TI AMP Extreme Edition, but I am willing to go with a 980 ti G1 Gaming if need be.

 

Phantom 530, be all and end all.

I actually own that case xD. Currently selling because of the size was unable to do a lot of upgrades to it, because of how far I have to carry it, and it is super easy for me to carry a mid tower (I would however get the version with the green leds in it, only if I don't have a choice)

that'll be 179.99, you have yourself a wonderful day

That is kind of out of my budget, also doesn't look like it has a front panel ,unless those open instead of taking them off?
