Hi everyone, It is time for me to get a new case... My needs seem to be hard to meet due to a lack of well basic computer cases. I can find cases that suit my needs, but they all have crazy windows and colors flashing out of them. I need a full atx case that has good dust filters, NO Window on the side panel, room for cables in behind the mother board and lastly, room for a AIO water-cooler for my CPU (preferably 240mm rad clearance). This is a case for a professional environment and can not have any flashy LED or nonsense the that, just a frigging Basic PC case! 

Also one last point, it needs to be from Canada Computers or a computer store biased in the GTA, I know that this might seem odd and annoying to some people, but it is important to me to support local computer businesses and I do not want another NCIX situation to occur in my backyard.

Lastly, the Case must be reasonably priced, under 150CAD

Thanks for the help!

Something like the Define R6 or Corsair 400Q come to mind if you want very minimal looking cases but with good options built in. 

I had the define S in my old kabylake build, it was a good case, but had manufacturing errors and missing MOBO standoffs (weird because it was a sealed box). This turned me off to their cases, but I will take a look at the 400Q, Thanks a lot for the help.

Could be a bad unit that got passed through but you should have been able to resolve any issues by contacting them.

Basically every case has a side window now, so just live with it.

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

i am currently using a Deepcool Tesseract SW Mid Tower Case, which does have some blue LED's that can be bright but could easily be replaced, but due to my motherboard my 240mm watercooler could not be mounted in the proper way as the PS/2 ports were in the way so i mounted it as shown in the picture, so a 240mm radiator can be fitted, the one i have is a Gamerstorm Captain 240 EX

If you dont have a watercooling block yet the next case i was going to buy has one built in to it and it supports a full ATX motherboard, Deepcool Genome II

this is Australian listing as that is where i live, should be able to get it cheaper inside of the US

I know, the issue is that it is for a professional environment where it is not aloud.

Just spray paint it black

Or get a define or be quiet case, they have some black boxes.

Or get an older case even potentially if you can find any
