Looking for a case with good cable management

Hi I'm looking for a case with good cable management and decent air flow.

I've had a Antec 900 for years now and my wires are all over the place and i'm Buried in dust.

I was thinking about the Corsair 650D or the Corsair 800D but they are the only cases i know of that have good cable management so i was wondering what other cases i should be looking at.

I wont be using water cooling but i might in the furture so i want a case with decent air flow.

Thanks

Gigabyte Z68X-UD4-B3 - Intel 2600k - Zotac 580GTX - Corsair AX 1200 - Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1866MHz - Antec 900 - SSD: OCZ Vertex 3 240GB

Have you thought about the Silverstone FT02?

One of the best air cooled cases out there, the cable management is good & also all the intake fans are filtered so hardly any dust gets into the case.

I clean out my filters once every 3 weeks to keep a good airflow into the case.

Cheers

Antec P193 is worth considering - but you'd need 4/8pin and 24pin extensions as it's a big case

Ft02 is a good choice for air flow, but can be interesting to watercool (it's not too difficult, but I think it's fun finding a place to put the pump/res (although you could just use a pump res bay combo,)

650d isn't a bad choice, room for a 240 and 200 rad at a later date, and 800d is a watercooling great.

Raven rv03 is good for airflow but has similar fun watercooling to the ft02

Bitfenix Shinobi XL may be a very good choice. Cable management is incredible, however you might want to add a couple of aftermarket fans for airflow purposes.

Thinking about getting the OcUK pre build water cooled d800 any one know if its any good ?

It's pretty good, the only thing I'd probably change is the fans on the rad for gentle typhoons.

Just in the finishing stages (see Project ES) of a WC build in an 800D, the cable management is the best I've used, so much room you will enjoy building in it

After seeing the size of the 800D compared to the antec 900 I'm now thinking i should get the 650D i knew the 800D was big but i didn't think it was that big.

I don't need the extra space and i'm willing to sacrifice better water cooling for a smaller case.

Antec P280?
