Cooler Master CM-690 with side window.

Ticks all the boxes.

ive heard that the 690 doesnt have a good airflow though.

Antec 1200 if you have the room for it.

Go for the CoolerMaster HAF 932, i got one last week for my new build and all i can says is :eek:

There is a hell of a lot of room, very good airflow that is second to non.
Look at my thread for some good pics of it:

Why doesn't he want Antec? It's got everything he asked for. Blue LED fans, clear sidepanel, good airflow, ATX fitting, cable management, dust filters. I'd recommend an Antec 902 or 1200. For £140, you could get just about any case fitting the description he wants, just go online and take a look through, see what he likes. At first I wasn't sure on the 902, I got it mainly for the airflow, but the LEDs have grown on me.

You can get some pretty nice cases for that price. The Antec 1200, HAF932, are both good choices. If he is willing to rise the budget a little (though that isn't worth it IMO) he can get a Silverstone TJ09. Why no Antec...?
