Hello, I want to get some suggestions on which case to buy. I've listed out some criteria that the case has to fit. Hopefully I'll get a good case for my first build!

My Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/TheL337Newbie/saved/2raS

It has to have good support for custom watercooling.

It has to be easy to build in.

It has to have good air flow

It has to look good next to a TV

It has to be $90 or less

It has to be black

It has to fit a tall air cooler (NZXT Havik 140)

I like the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2, do you guys have any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

If you want all black case in ATX then the Thermaltake Urban S41 would also work, plus you can remove the drive bays for more room.

 

I would maybe look into a different cooler that one you choose will be bigger than you think.

got to love Asus components

Define r4 is a great case as well. The corsiar 300r is nice as well but really the arc midi r2 is the best case out thier at this price range.

The Arc Midi R2 is a great case imo. Corsair 300R is also a good choice for your case.
