Some new case advice

Hi all.

Just started in my journey to find a case to start my first build. After popping in a London stockist of cases to get and idea (before ordering here). I've come to the conclusion that a lot of the full tower cases are just to deep for the area I want to put it. I have no problem with height or width but a couple of the Lian cases I looked over stretched way to far back to sit on a normal sized desk.

So I'm here for advice.

I'm looking for a black metal case similar to the corsair in styling (hate the plastic look). It needs to be a decent air cooling case (happy to add more fans if thats an option).

At this stage this is my prefered bundle to go in it:

2 of these (I already have one in my current rig)

Plus of course a couple of harddrives, one blue ray player and one standard DVD writer.

Any help or advice would be great. As I very new to this and will be youtubing the build (watching for advice rather than filming myself). Something that is suited for a novice would be great. As for the money side of things I'm not to worried its going to be here a while I hope.

One thing I forgot to mention the power supply is almost certainly to be a Corsair 750, I had planned to fit that at the bottom. So a case that matches that would be ideal or a reason why putting it at the top is prefered.

Cheers

I have a standard no brand midi case at the moment, similar in size to a Coolermaster Elite 334. That leaves me with about another 8 inches spare at the back . For height and width I have loads of room

Budget is not set but would need to be impressed to go over £150.

Hope this helps
