But you don't have to put them there. It's got no drive cages or anything blocking the view

The Corsair 400C is probably what you want then, it's really shallow.

when i change to my 1tb m.2 its going to look a right mess all these nice red leds and that and then 5 miles of air next to the MOBO 

and the 400c is nice but that massive handle is a killer thanks anyway though

Well, technically speaking yes.  It hides cabling, though I don't personally consider that "just for show" as it can improve your airflow and therefore performance.

Ah, sorry.  Your post was a tad repetitive.  I don't think the red PSU cove is available, sorry.  You could spray paint it red though
