Looking for a case with good cable management

Won't have any problems with cable management in that case.

Generally the rule for good cable management is that there is a motherboard tray with room behind it, holes with rubber grommets that let the cables move from the back to the motherboard plugs.

Also helps when there is a hole for 4pin CPU cable at the top, If you can tick all those boxes the case is generally good for a clean build.

In terms of the case, it would work great if you are going for a orange and black build. I would say go for it.

Not in stock, but if you didn't need all the space of a full tower there is a orange/black mid tower that is overdue for stock. However the motherboard tray isn't orange.

Dunno about better, but I have a Corsair Carbide 500R and it is wicked-easy for cables.
The back panel has a bulgy bit with plenty of room, the motherboard tray has nice large grommeted holes and there's even more space down the side of the HDD cages.
I have a fair number of extra cables for the various accent lighting mods I'm playing with and that leaves a bunch of molex connectors everywhere, but even that is no problem on this case.
I'd personally prefer just a few more cable-tie points, but for a sub-£100 case, it's pretty darn cool!

As I understand it, many Corsair cases are like this.
However, I recently helped a friend build his first rig in a CoolerMaster Elite 430 and that was pretty decent too.
 
Bit of a left field suggestion, but the Raven RV03?

PSU cables start out behind the motherboard and you simply route them to the cut out closest to where you need them on the board/GPU, so very little visible clutter. Fit your HDDs/SSDs behind the motherboard rather than the front bays and you've got a very neat looking case without much effort, and generally one of the best air cooling setups possible too. Downsides are that looks are a little marmite (personally, still love mine after a couple of years), you may need a long SATA cable to hide the ODD cable away, and it's not really suited for liquid cooled setups.

Like I said, left field suggestion but it does meet your criteria. :)
 
If you stretch a bit further in some places the Corsair Air 540 can be had for just over £100. If your having trouble cable managing with your current case this will prove a doddle.

If you can get it for that price, I'd back that up. So much room in the back, it's brilliant.
