I'm looking to build a new rig in the near future. Currently I use a full tower, the CM Storm. But I don't think I will want a full tower on this next build.

I wanted to poll jsp for opinions on a nice looking mid tower, most likely atx. It needs to be great with cable management, I was not 100% thrilled with the current case that I use. I'd like to have a window as well, but i have no real color preference. I'll do my own lightning, let me know if you need anymore information.

I like both of the NZXT options listed. I'll keep topic open the rest of the day and donate some fgs to the case of my choosing. Ty.

Ok, well I would prefer a solid color, although I'm not against a multi color. I prefer a sleek design, similar to the nzxt s340 posted earlier. I'd like at least 2 expansion slots (3.5"). I'll probably swap case fans out, and I'll likely use 120's so it's no big deal if it doesn't include fans. Price point really isn't a factor, since it's a mid-tower I don't expect it to be outrageous, I don't want to rule anything out just yet so bring them all. If it has case-mounted USB ports, they need to be 3.0 obviously. I just thought about this, I also prefer the case to have legs. I don't really want to set it on blocks, but I would still consider a case that met every other need.

I like the look and cable management, but the case is a little large for my needs. Thanks though.

i mean if price isn't an issue, why not go with an all aluminum case. Lian Li has some good cases, usually always a sleek minimal design, and build quality is great.
