Nor here, nor there
I've pretty much butchered my 500R over the 2 years I've had it, to the point I don't think the cooling is up to much any more. Not just that, the cable management is pretty poor in this case and there's not a great deal of space to work with. I originally was looking at a Thermaltake Core X9 but it's pretty much overkill to be honest as I'm not going to fit multiple large radiators.

What I need from a case:

•Somewhere to fit an AIO cooler, preferably space to fit the larger 320/360mm AIO coolers that are now coming to market
•Somewhere to mount my 295x2 radiator, preferably at the front of the case
•Good cooling system/layout
•Excellent cable management
•Plenty of space so things aren't crammed
•Would prefer it to be white

I've been eyeing up the Corsair 540.
 
I think the Air 540 would be your match then mate. It has bundles of room for cable management and very very good cooling. As a plus the 540 comes in white :) It's very wide though so make sure you have room.
 
If you're considering the 540, you should look at the Cooltek W2. Not white, but comes in a very nice silver. I've just received mine today, will be moving my rig in to it later this week, time permitting. It's LOVELY! Reeks quality, which I cannot say the same about the Corsair what with all the plastic they've used.

+1 for this. I fell in love with this case after seeing this build log:

It's the only build that has got me slightly aroused....
