Need case suggestions

Hello, wonderful people!

I was wondering what case would be good for me if I was looking for;

 

Simple, elegant design (Phanteks Eclipse/Evolv/Pro M or NZXT S340 Elite/H440 for example)
Space saving interior (Phanteks Pro M for example with option to mount HDD with brackets in main space as I like having them displayed as such)
PSU Shroud
Fits 240mm Radiator (thick)
Fits ATX motherboard

 

Forgot to mention I need a 5.25 drive bay as I use my disc drive very heavily.

 

If possible;
Fan controllers
Fan light controllers (white LED fans)
Support for bottom case fans

 

I currently use a CM Storm Stryker (white) and I love it, especially with the white color. However, the exposed PSU and the drive cages present a bit of an eye sore to me. Although, I do really enjoy the ability to mount fans to the bottom of the case. I have been strongly considering the Pro M Acrylic but the lack of bottom fan support and the lack of fan and light controllers make it less pleasing. All of my case fans are white LED and have variable speeds which is something I prefer having control over quickly. 

 

If push comes to shove, would the Pro M Acrylic fit my needs and what extra modules for fan  and LED control would you recommend and how to potentially mount it for quick access if possible?

 

Thank you very much!

I've been strongly considering the InWin 303 but the lack of 5.25 drive bay (which I forgot to mention originally) is kind of a killer because I use my disc drive heavily as I still buy hard copies of games and use my hardware driver discs occasionally (ik it's kind of outdated to do so but I prefer it). Not having an option to display my HDDs kind of is a bummer too although not a deal breaker.

Use a USB one.
