Need a case recommandation

Teero

I am building a workstation centered around 5820k / Noctua NH-D15 and 980 ti. 

 

I need a understated black case preferably with no windows. I live in so-cal and keep my window open most of the time, so dust proof is a must. budget is <USD 300, full tower or mid tower, no ITX.  I have considered Panteks Enthoo Pro but it does not look that dust proof. 

 

Please let me know if any good cases in this category.

Cooler master silencio 550, or just take a look at the silencio series.

They have dust filters, no windows and includes sound dampening mats to keep the system quiet.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Fractal Define r5- The front intake has a very nice and easily removable dust filter as well as one that covers the entire length of the bottom of the case. The bottom dust filter removes from the front for easy cleaning.  There is a non windowed version which has the added bonus of being covered with sound proofing foam and being well under budget.  The Enthoo pro is an AWESOME case, but may seem a little empty without a custom loop in it, but if you want to build in it you could just buy some silverstone magnetic dust filters for it and still come in under $300. :)

Define S or R5. You wont need to use the top fan mounts.

 NZXT H440 Windowless should work great.

It's got dust filters on the front, so make sure your intake fans are there.
