So im working on downsizing my  rig and case so i can get more room for my lego addiction, which means getting rid of one of my monitors, and swapping my thermal-take  case, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133283. In terms of requirements that i would need for the case, i prefer minimalist design, it needs to support a atx mobo, a noctua nh-d15 cooler, 2 sli strix 970 gpu, and my evga 1300 G2 psu, what do you all recommenced that has a minimal foot print, as well as a modern minimalist design, and decent airflow?

i mean the front is a solid panel, how does it get ventilation for the front?

I owned this case personally, and there's a gap between the front panel and fans of about an inch, which is plenty. 

Never had cooling issues in the S340

its been done but is not good for thermals, trust me ive looked into it, as well average price would be 10cents per brick. so it is not anywhere close to cost effective espicially for the horrible temps
