Spec me a case... with requirements

[Roalith]

Been rummaging around for various cases, umming and ahhing over replacing my bodge-job box. Have a couple of ideas but wondered what other people would suggest. Case needs to:

- Have a decent size side window
- Have good cable management
- Have a black interior
- Be in the £50-80 price range (Maybe a little more if worth it)
- Possible 240mm rad space for a Corsair H100

Fractal Design Arc Midi
NZXT Lexa S
Cooler Master CM 690 II Lite (Windowed)
Xigmatek Midgard
Silverstone PS06
Antec 1100
Bitfenix Colossus

... all seem to fit the bill. Any other thoughts?

On the basis of Bitfenix Colossus pricing... How about, CM Storm Trooper? Great case

Alternatively, Corsair 500R or C70

The only ones on your list I'd touch are the Fractal, the CM 690 and the Silverstone...

At the bottom end of your budget I'd throw in the Shinobi

Not a bad call on the Storm Trooper, although I've seen the Colossus for £95. With an extra £20 for the side panel making the Storm Trooper £140 in total it's kinda a bit out of my range. I know the Colossus doesn't have the side window but I think the looks more than make up for it.

I got a Arc midi a few weeks ago and would recommend that, it is a tad on the loud side but that's mainly down to me not bothering to get a better heatsink fan.

The fractal define r4 window panel fits the arc midi apparently so you could upgrade the panel to a window if that was putting you off
