ultimate compact Micro ATX case?

[Alir]

I'm buying a mobo. Either Micro ATX or ATX. I don't really NEED an ATX, though I do have an ATX case right now and I might later decide to go for a micro ATX case.  This is for portability. I'd prefer it not being a mid tower case.

 

The case needs:

5.25" external bay

Enough space for my CPU cooler (Dark Rock Pro 3 163mm in height)

Decent air cooling

Space for my MSI 390 GPU (277mm)

Side Panel EDIT: Windowed

 

Bonus:

Dust filters would also be nice, but not too vital.

5 PCIe slots in the back in case I decide to crossfire my MSI 390 (takes up 2.5 PCI slots). Probably won't do that though.

Space for a 3.5" hard drive - though I might just go for a 2.5" hard drive and use the 3.5" for backup. Though I would prefer not doing this. Makes more sense to keep the 3.5" HDD inside the case - the 1TB WD Black is also very loud!

 

Anyone have any suggestions?

I love the Silverstone SG10 but it doesn't have a full sized 5.25" bay.
I only love my DVD drive because it plays blu ray discs and comes with free software to play blu ray discs

 

*EDITED: Also needs space for my MSI 390 GPU (277mm)*

Apparently it has poor cable management and looks like it won't support my CPU cooler?

 

What about Xigmatek Aquila?

 

Is it possible to include a 5.25" dvd drive in the top with one fan in the top AND have my CPU cooler?

bop

 

what about Aerocool xPredator Cube case?

 

And what about Aerocool Dead Silence case?

 

Are the above any good?

cpu cooler wise, with the prodigy m, you should be fine for clearance if you dont' use the hard drive brackets.. (I have one)
