    Default Clean, simple full ATX cases?

    So I'm basically looking for cases that fit the following:

    Clean, simple design. No nonsense. I don't want hundreds of miles of mesh, tacky window designs, etc. Just a case.

    Bottom-mount PSU. This is a must. Seriously. If it has provisions to run cables behind the mobo tray that would be even better.

    Black, or at least painted so I can strip the paint and make it black. If it's already black then that's a bonus.

    I've got my eye on this:

    but I want to know of other options, cheaper than that fractal design one if possible.

    Thanks,
    mike

    I'm a big fan of this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811163162

    We have the same current case, and I agree with you. I want no nonsense and nice cable management. I would choose the fortress over the CM Stacker 830 if I had money to spend.

    $130-NZXT WHISPER WHI - 001BK

    I like this one. It is simple and sleek with a touch of design? Not sure that is the right word there. I have similar taste as you but thought this was a nice case that might fit your search.

    $170-NZXT Switch 810
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811146089
    I know it has a window. I tried going to NZXTs website and it was horribly slow for me (WTF- click a link on the page and says "loading from facebook at the bottom). If the panel could be replaced, it may not be bad.


    $180-Antec P193 V3
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129176
    Not sure about the side dudad but the rest of the case does have the sleek clean look.


    There were a few more options but they all went into 200+ territory.
    $220-LIAN LI PC-A71F

    $280-LIAN LI PC-Z70B

    $300-SILVERSTONE Temjin Series TJ10-B

    $400-LIAN LI PC-V2120B
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112311

    $470-LIAN LI PC-V2120X (not sure the difference vs B above)

    Hope it helped,

    So much for "cheaper if possible", eh?

    I already browsed newegg and either everything was too expensive for my blood or tacky and terrible looking.

    Other websites don't have nearly as nice a search function so I was wondering if you guys knew of any offhand, since I was having a hard time finding something specific like that on frozencpu or whatever.

    Have a look at Silverstone and Lan Li cases for that clean look, unfortunately the majority of the cases sit around $200 and above.

    Although the Raven RV03 is under $150

    I have to ask. Why a full tower? Why not a mid tower?

    More room? I like my cases big. Though I may actuall switch back to mid just because full towers are pricey. Unless I can find a nice ATX server case or something

    too much work and it's been too long since I've done any metalwork to be pleased with anything I'd make, plus I don't really have any appropriate metalworking tools here
