Modern equivalent of a CoolerMaster ATCS 840

Hello folks
Putting together a new x99 system soon to replace my 6 yr old workhorse.
I'm wondering if there's any cases available now which are sort of equivalent to the venerable CoolerMaster ATCS 840.
I want it to be quite sizey for general airflow and expandability and to accommodate a bulky Noctua D15 cpu cooler.
I'd prefer it to be pretty quiet as I expect to be doing a fair bit of audio production.
I've been looking at some of the Fractal Design cases. They seem good?
But yeah, what do you think? What's the modern incarnation of the ATCS 840?
Thanks
 
Not really anything as HQ with removable motherboard tray out there with a reasonable price.Mind you I have an akasa eclipse with the tray but it's never been used I prefer putting cooler ram etc on the motherboard outside the case then screwing in, which kind of negates a removable tray.

I'd be looking at the phanteks range of cases and if staying with air cooling then why not a silverstone fortress FT02 ? old now but still the king of air.
Depends how much you want to spend the fractals are good for the cost though.

I actually just replaced my ATCS last weekend with the phantek enthoo primo. I have to say while it does not have a removable mb tray in every other respect it is superior.

The build quality is perfect and the design is just very clever with great attention to detail. The options it provides for cooling cover anything you may think of both air and water.
