Looking for a case that is a simple/slim with decent cooling. I really like the BitFenix Pandora w/Icon Programmable Display: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/bitf...con-programmable-display-black-ca-193-bx.html

However, some bright-spark decided it was a good idea to only have 1x120 in the top, when there's no rear fan placement. Not sure I can deal with having just a 1x120mm exhaust.

Any similar alternatives?

I would prefer little to no branding also, if possible.

TIA.
 
Following Legion's line of though, you might also want to consider the Silverstone Kublai KL06 which is an updated version of the TJ08-E. OCUK used to have them in stock but don't appear to currently, always other places around though.

Not slim enough really, also still has 5.25 drive bays/blanks which is just not required and is the opposite of the simple look I want.

Tempted to make one.
 
I struggled to find a smaller MATX case so ended up with a TJ08e. Pleased with it, the only issue is the fan is a tad awkward to control for silence.
 
I can't see any reason why you couldn't install an additional fan in the top, there appears to be space for it. Just get out yer drill and make some holes. Having said that the second fan might just pull cool air from the from top-front fan, which is possibly why they haven't done it.

The problem you will have is that the slim look you want comes at the expense of the rear 120mm, because there isn't space next to the IO panel to mount it. so you will have to compromise somewhere I think.

I would suggest the Fractal Define Mini:
