Hello!
Having plans on upgrading my GPU this year, I am looking for a good ATX Mid Tower that'll be able to fix a Noctua nh-d14, ya know, this mother-lugger:
I need a new case cause I am unable to use the front and side panels for fear of overheating my GPU (I have a super hot room and a ACX cooler inside) and would like something a bit more air-cooling friendly. I was an idiot getting a case made for water-cooling. NZXT H440 if you haven't figured it out yet.
There are some things I desire out of the case:
-USB, speakers, power-button, etc, on the top, my chair is exactly one inch away from it and I refuse to break another USB cable*
-Simplistic. No super bright colors/LEDS/edges. I don't really show it to anyone.
-Plenty of room for a GPU, for ones that a tiny bit larger than 300-305mm. I couldn't be bothered to remove the HDD cage and this bugger is only 279.4mm but I could barely fit that in without putting it in diagonally and situating it after (case clearance is 294).
-Good airflow.
I'm willing to spend up to around $100-150, so price isn't TOO much of a factor, but I don't plan to spend anymore than that cause I need to buy a new GPU as well.
Thanks for reading.

*When I had a pre-built computer somewhere in 2009-2010, my parents had gotten me a pair of USB headsets that had a fairly long connector. Long story short, my leg hit the poor thing and it broke.
