I am getting a new case and I cant find any good one. I have £100 budget and I want a windowed case, it has to be able to have an ATX motherboard, it needs to be able to have at least a 2 fan rad and I dont want it to be mounted externaly like on a CM Storm Scout II. Last thing is I dont want it to be fractal design define R4 or arc midi.

Slap a tenner on top and you get yourself one hell of a BEAST.

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/silverstone-raven-rv04b-w-black-full-tower-case-usb-30-with-side-window-e-atx-atx-w-o-psu

 

Seriously, the best layout ever created for any PC, heat is removed so fast it leads in cooling, i own the RVO2-BW, if  you remove the bottom 3 180mm fans, you can mount a 380 rad easily.

Actually this case uses a different orientation o.0 i should check before typing, god i am thick sometimes.

i hate the looks

Well as you really don't want a R4 or arc R2, maybe the corsair 540

in my opinion its a piece of plastic

The piece of plastic has the best cable routing system in the world, its got one of best air flow solutions in the world with great tooless design. This is backed by state of the art customer support.

But alas its not for everyone, give me a bit of time and ill try and find something else.
