I'm looking for a case for my new rig I'm putting together. I like the antec and chieftec's but I'm not really crazy about the front plastic door. Mainly because of access to the optical drives easily. Any suggestions would be great, I'm looking for a case, not a mini tower, but something to put to exhaust fans in the rear. Doesn't have to be pre modded or anything, I don't plan on modding anymore cases in the future. Well show me what you got, if I cant decide on one, I guess I will go with one of the antec or chieftecs. Thanks a lot guys.


oh and it doesn't need a psu also.

Here's an Antec without the door:

Do you have a budget restriction?

I saw that one at newegg while searching for one. Its a mini tower though, and only one fan can go in the back. My budget is around $100, cheaper would be nice so that I know I can order all my parts around the same time.

Clutch, I'm concerned! Unless you bear an uncanny resemblance
to a famous scientist and that's really your picture, how can you
say no more case mods in the future? Even us old guys can find
the motivation for a paint job or a little lighting here and there!
Never say never amigo!
