I am going to put together a system for a friend using old components (amd 4000+, asus nforce 4, 7900 gtx etc...). The only thing I need for him is a new case.
Now he's not the sort of person who would check for dust build up regularly - basically, just needs to press a button to turn it on. Silence is important as well (the components run quite quietly right now anyway - the only thing is a 74gb raptor :S)

The akasa zen looks good, but I'm concerned with dust being sucked through the front intake (the case will most likely be on the floor). Also a few things such as how easy is it to add/remove hard drives when the bays aren't side loading.
It's a shame the antec solo is a bit pricey, because I like the features.

Any other suggestions?
 

+1 for the antec 300, its got a dust filter on the intake which you can remove in about two seconds and you dont have to take out fans. just open sidepanel, pop off the front cover and clean and done.

had mine for a while now, cleaned it out once, no dust inside apart from a tiny bit but nothing major.
