I am looking to replace my Corsair Carbide 500r. Up to £120 but that is by no means a target!

- No bigger than the 500r (20.5” x 8.1” x 20”) but still pretty big with 'good' airflow
- 2x 120mm and/or 2x 140mm radiator compatible (i.e. a Corsair h100i!)
- No Window
- Neat and tidy! e.g. little hidyhole for an SSD, removable unused 3.5" bays; lots of cable routing options, no excessive front panel cabling...
- DVD Drive not necessary
- Looks good (e.g. Zalman R1 and Aerocool DS200

The neat and tidiness and looking good are probably the most important.

Edit- loving the 3pin fan hubs on the more expensive NZXT cases!

Fractal Design Define S. The non-windowed edition of course.

Looks great, very neat and tidy with drives mounted behind the motherboard. Therefore there's a boat load of room for radiators and watercooling out front, and airflow is really good.

The NZXT H440 is another great case. Airflow isn't as good as the Fractal unfortunately, but offers the fan hub and some more drive space.
 
I've just built using this one from phanteks.

Fabulous case to work on, plenty of places to route cables & hide stuff.
It replaced my Corsair 650D.

You can get a regular window version as well if the full acrylic one is a bit too much.

Sorry, just seen you don't want a window..... In that case ignore me! :D

You can get them without a window too, I did last month :D its a great case
