Hit stone wall with Case choice . . .

[A-C-R]

I can't find many cases on my budget that are sort of worth it , my budget is around 60-70 euros (Greece) and so far only thing that I find sort of fits my aesthetic is the Zalman z9 neo . I'm looking for good cable management , clean front , rubber gromets and a side panel window. If anyone can help please do. I was also considering getting a wooden panel and some stand-offs , screw everything into that , paint it black , gray and orange (half life theme) and just wall mount it as a last resort . . . I'm not sure how I could hide my cables though (I have orange extensions from bitfenix).

You could go with the corsair 200r. I'm from the u.s.a, and that case is around 60-70 us dollars which is around 55-65 euros.

Do you have hands-on experience with it?

you could look at something like the Corsair 88r, has everything you want except the rubber gromets for the holes. It is mATX, so not sure if this will fit you or not.

88r is great but I fail to see where i could hide the cable extender pugs , especially the 24 pin one which is quite wide

Those are pictures of the inside of my wifes 88r showing you how it looks for cable management. Grantit its not the cleanest on my part, but gives you an idea.

88R is a great case and with a little work it can look nice like your wife's pc right there , but I am worried about the length of my cable extensions plus the 20+4 pin extender is quite wide and I don't know if I can find a place to hide it , you seem to have some hands on experience can you tell ?

There is actually quite a large space to the right of the cable management holes that is indented behind where the SSD is mounted to manage excess cables

The cables will show through won't they though ? or is there some tie-down point there where I can set the cable flush with the case ?

There is tie down points. If you look closely at the first picture, just to the right of the HDD there is a white zip tie that you can see. The cables you see sticking up are the PCIe cables for when I put in her graphics card.
