Hi hope someone can help, I'm looking to build my first PC, it needs to fit in a certain spot so I need a case which has front cooling and rear cooling only and can have a 5" bay to slot in a CD drive. 

Fractal Design Focus G. $50, has a 5.25" bay, comes in 5 colors :)

Most cases are setup for front/rear cooling (top cooling as well, but can do fine without). I don't think I have really seen many side cooled cases that were reliant on the side cooling.

 

For the space why don't you kind of give us a run down on the measurements, mobo form factor, etc.

Osmium: NFC Skyreach 4 // i7-8700k (delidd) // GTX 1080 // 32GB DDR4-3200Mhz // 1TB 960 Evo M.2 // 1.1TB MX300 m.2
Peripherals: Razer Blackwidow // Razer Orbweaver // Razer Kraken // Logitech G502 // Logitech K830 // LG 34UC88-B

Usage: Adobe Lightroom // Adobe Photoshop // Web Dev // Recording Gameplay // Video Editing // Portable Gaming

223x750 is the gap the case will slide into so top and bottom cooling and a side window are redundant.

actually 750mm I am assuming is the height, is 30 inches tall in imperial. This would be like 300mm of space over the fractal design focus G (as well as MANY other cases), so top fans would NOT be useless.

 

In your space, you have soooooo many options. I suggest just looking on any computer part site for mid tower cases.

Just looking for recommendations of cases that fit my limitations.
