This is the Pro M (The Eclipse P400s is the same on the inside):

 

-ATX Mid Tower 

-Fits Noctua NH-D15

-Comes with one SSD bracket, and 3 spots to put that bracket 

-Out of the box, it will accommodate 2 HDD's, so you'll need to buy an (inexpensive) HDD bracket that goes in the front of the case (the 2 spots for them is in the basement.) 

-USB 3.0 front

-Only comes with one 140mm fan as exhaust, fits 3 120mm/2 140mm fans in front 

-Dust filter in front and on bottom are easy to remove, the one on top is magnetic (so it just lifts off.) Here's a dust filter problem though, and my only bug with the case: It doesn't cover the entire front of the case, so dust will come in at a slow rate. 

-Great cable management :)

 

So, for the P400s vs the Pro M, I'd recommend the P400s. the P400s doesn't have a 5 1/4" Bay, but the dust filters in the front filer ALL the dust out, not just most of it. Neither come with 3 spots for HDD's, sorry. :(

Hello! I am looking for a case, can someone recommend me one?

 

This is what I need:

  • ATX Size
  • Enough Space for the Noctua NH-D15 (That's why my old case isn't working anymore - the cooler is just too big)
  • At least one space for an SSD
  • At least three bays for 3,5" HDDs
  • USB 3.0 Front
  • 2 Fans - One in Front, One in the Back
  • Easy-To-Remove Dust Filters
  • Good cable management paths
  • No power supply (I already have one)

I'd love to get one for under 100$ but I am willing to pay up to 150$ if the case is f*cking awesome.

 

If it matters, here are my other components: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BC97zy

I'm fan of the Phanteks Enthoo Pro, and I've heard nothing but good about them.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Looks good too, but I can't figure out if my cooler will fit :/

More than enough, I've seen several builds using the NH-D15 with that case.

 

It's also compatible on PCPP.

Some cheaper suggestions-

Phanteks Enthoo Pro M (I use this, love it to death, got it for $60)

Phanteks Eclipse P400/s (same insides as the Pro M, but accommodates bigger radiators and has no 5 1/4" Bay, and has multi-colored front panel light. I like it more than the Pro M.) 

NZXT S340 (my least recommend from this list, some people have problems with paint chipping and stuff? still looks good.) 

Fractal Design Define S/R5 (you can sometimes find these for under $100.)

I used to be quite active here.

Thanks for the detailed description!

 

The  Phanteks Eclipse P400/s  sounds most promising so far :D Especially for the price.
