I was wondering if there is any case with following characteristics:
- mid tower
- no HDD cages or at lest fully removable (can have 2.5" SSD holders)
- fully optional/removable optical bays
- Fully covered front intake with easy access to dust filter (like on Carbide 330R
- Fully covered top so that 2x140mm fans exhaust to the back through a "tunnel" on top (similar to how front cover works)
- 3x 140mm intake fans
- 1x 120mm
- modular mounts for various radiators on front, top or rear
- the least windows and LED's they have, the better (I sleep in same room and light "noise" is annoying)
- Because I sleep in same room, noise suppression features are of very high priority
I actually like my Corsair Carbide 330R a lot, but it has few flaws that bother me. HDD and optical bay cages are non removable and they restrict air intake a lot unnecessarily (I only have Samsung 850 Pro SSD, so I need minimal space for it). Top fans, if I mount them, I have to remove the noise insulation cover which means I get airflow and noise (and I don't like noise). With the top cover, only exhaust is my PSU and 120mm exhaust fan. Which is quite weak.
MasterCase Maker 5t and Master Case Pro 6 kinda look like what I need with few compromises. Also quite affordable. Don't like the clear side panels and that handle on top on 5t model though. Any other recommendations?
