So I'm basically looking for cases that fit the following:
Clean, simple design. No nonsense. I don't want hundreds of miles of mesh, tacky window designs, etc. Just a case. Bottom-mount PSU. This is a must. Seriously. If it has provisions to run cables behind the mobo tray that would be even better. Black, or at least painted so I can strip the paint and make it black. If it's already black then that's a bonus. I've got my eye on this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811352017 but I want to know of other options, cheaper than that fractal design one if possible. Thanks, mike

I'm a big fan of this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811163162
We have the same current case, and I agree with you. I want no nonsense and nice cable management. I would choose the fortress over the CM Stacker 830 if I had money to spend.

$130-NZXT WHISPER WHI - 001BK
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811146051 I like this one. It is simple and sleek with a touch of design? Not sure that is the right word there. I have similar taste as you but thought this was a nice case that might fit your search. $170-NZXT Switch 810 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811146089 I know it has a window. I tried going to NZXTs website and it was horribly slow for me (WTF- click a link on the page and says "loading from facebook at the bottom). If the panel could be replaced, it may not be bad. $180-Antec P193 V3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129176 Not sure about the side dudad but the rest of the case does have the sleek clean look. There were a few more options but they all went into 200+ territory. $220-LIAN LI PC-A71F http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112343 $280-LIAN LI PC-Z70B http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112327 $300-SILVERSTONE Temjin Series TJ10-B http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811163091 $400-LIAN LI PC-V2120B http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112311 $470-LIAN LI PC-V2120X (not sure the difference vs B above) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112312 Hope it helped, Outlaw

So much for "cheaper if possible", eh?
![]() I already browsed newegg and either everything was too expensive for my blood or tacky and terrible looking. Other websites don't have nearly as nice a search function so I was wondering if you guys knew of any offhand, since I was having a hard time finding something specific like that on frozencpu or whatever.

Have a look at Silverstone and Lan Li cases for that clean look, unfortunately the majority of the cases sit around $200 and above.
Although the Raven RV03 is under $150 |

I have to ask. Why a full tower? Why not a mid tower?

More room? I like my cases big. Though I may actuall switch back to mid just because full towers are pricey. Unless I can find a nice ATX server case or something

too much work and it's been too long since I've done any metalwork to be pleased with anything I'd make, plus I don't really have any appropriate metalworking tools here
