PIcking a new case

[Alkali A]

So I have a Carbide spec-2 from corsair, and it's served me fine till now and I got it a great price when I bought it, but it's got some issues

 

so I'd like to get a new case and I was wondering if anybody knows of any gems that fit my needs

 

what I need in the new case:

 

-large-to full acrylic or tempered glass side panel (glass preferred)

 

-280mm rad support for my AIO

 

-spots for for two 140mm fans(on the rad), and four or more 120mm fans 

 

-ample cable management room

 

-space somewhere for an SSD, at least one HDD, and my Hue+

 

-PSU shroud (entirely optional)

 

-optical drive slot (might as well sue what I have)

 

-easy to clean fan filters (also optional)

 

-black/grey/red colors

 

-MOST IMPORTANTLY as close to $100 US or less (can go over but eh, I have a budget lets stick to it)

 

 

 

 

(also not sure if this should be in the new build/planning forum or the troubleshooting forum, idk)

how's the cable management?

 

Also, it doesn't look like it supports optical drives

the cable management is great lots of room for the cables and the elite has a bar to hide the cables

unfortunately, that's kinda of an important part.

 

I'd only give up that feature as a last effort.

Is there really no good full windowed cases with 5.25 inch bays?
