Well, I`m looking for a midtower ATX case corresponding to some specifitacions.
It should be black outside as well as inside,
also bottomed PSU location,
transparent side panel,
with at least one USB 3.0 port @ I/O panel
with good cable management and descent airflow.
Screwless options would be also neat. Number of drive bays is not very important as well as a number of fans, neither if they`re inculded. Finally - case should has as conservative look as possible, no kinda future/military shaped (Fractal Design`s Black Pearl would be an awesome case... if it`d has transparent side panel:cry:). Price range: 100-150 USD.

Any spam would be very appreciated, folx :rockout:

main thing about picking a case is what kind of look you prefer. It'd be better for you to list acouple cases you like the look of and then let's us offer advise on the cases you like.

As I mentioned earlier, Fractal Design Black Pearl is visually exactly the case that looks like what I need. Corsair Obsidian is perfect, but too expensive tho. Carbide 500R is also great box, but the side window is absolutely needed. Not for kinda aesthetics - I`d wish to control dust visually - puter will be cooled by air.

You can have all of this for much less, $50, try the CM Elite 431 Plus.

Have you looked at NZXT cases? Most are all black inside and out with transparent or clear windows

Have you considered the PC-K9WX? It is right in your price range and has everything you requested although the cable management might not be as good as other cases if you load it up to the brim. There's always the Corsair 650d if you wish to stretch your budget out a bit but the PC-K9WX would still perform admirably.
