based on your pros and cons I would say the Tempest.

I would argue that when buying a case your priority should be build quality and the featureset.

​Also, it has the most pros and the fewest cons, that's your subconscious talking, you already know which one you're going to bu, you just want us to justify it for you.

- Silverstone Fortress FT02 - MSI Z77 Mpower - i5 3570k @ 4.0GHZ 1.09v - 8gb Mushkin Blackline 1600 - MSI GTX 670 PE -

410... the one with the fewest cons.

I don't know exactly what you want in a case so it's really hard to recommend something.

Can't go wrong with the Corsair 200R or NZXT Source 210 though. I haven't had any personal experience with those cases but Corsair makes fantastic cases and the Source 210 gets praise everywhere I look.

Desert Storm PC | Corsair 600T | ASUS Sabertooth 990FX AM3+ | AMD FX-8350 | MSI 7950 TFIII | 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 | Seasonic X650W I Samsung 840 series 500GB SSD

Mobile Devices I ASUS Zenbook UX31E I Nexus 7 (2013) I Nexus 5 32GB (red)
