case reccomendations?

[J.Munslow]

i love the aesthetic of the Corsair 330r, but i don't think i'm quite ready to give up a windowed side panel.... can any of you recommend a good ATX case? (preferably with suppourt for a 240mm rad but that isn't essential).

 

it'd need plenty of gpu room too

What is your ideal price range? Also, what do you like about the 330r? Are you just going for a bit more of a clean/minimal look compared to your current case?

Define C?

NZXT H440

Phanteks Enthoo Evolve ATX Glass (what a name!). I just got one, and its super awesome, has masses of space for water-cooling (it can take a 360mm rad in front and on top), and it looks amazing!

that's it exactly, my zalman z11 is very 'loud' - both in styling and noise. i'm looking for a more mature case really. ideally, below £120 would be great.

the 330r appeals to me as it still has options for mounting optical drives, which i still use on a frequent bases. i like the idea of having a case fitted with sound dampening and the front door would be nice to hide the logos on the front of the optical drives.

How about the CORSAIR 600C? Optical drive, ODD door, case door, reverse ATX.

little help for you guys:

120 GBP = 152 USD = 135 EUR

I have the 400C and I like it. it's a shorter 600C and not inverted.

The many times aforementioned Fractal Define C would be good. The NZXT S340 as well.

You might want to look at the be quiet! silent base series. I think both the 600 and 800 can support a 240mm rad at least, but the 800 is a bit bigger and might be easier to work it. Both come in both window and non-window versions. http://www.bequiet.com/en/case/594

They've got dampening material on the front and back side, and a door that swings open to access the front bays, hiding them when not in use (just a word of warning, this door likes to swing open when you're moving the case around so to prevent damage I always tape mine shut when transporting it). 

I have these cases' bigger brother the dark base pro 900 (which is a bit higher than your price range otherwise I'd recommend it in a heartbeat), and I LOVE it. I am incredibly happy with it. I do wish it had come with a PSU shroud, but you can find them on the mod market like I did (or just make your own). 

 

Here's a picture of my current build in the dark base pro 900: 

(I am not done with the build, I still have to add the custom loop and I've added some RGB RAM since this was taken, but you get the idea)

Since you mentioned a door to hide the drive bays, absorbing material for noise, classier/minimalist looks, you should definitely check out the be quiet cases. They're not paying me to say this, I'm just a legit fan of be quiet! after getting that case. Plus they had amazing customer service and sent me a spare HDD panel when I asked them for one so I could try a mod out. I didn't end up needing it, but I was blown away at the customer service.
