Help me find a case

[Sheza]

Hey guys, I need your help again!

I know how awesome you are with cases, I would go off Tom's reviews a lot but I am an air cooler myself so large parts of the reviews are quite irrelevant to me (I think).

So here's what I'm looking for:

1) Avoid full towers if possible, it's not the height I need.
2) Must be able to fit a GTX 680
3) Side panel window (more about side panel fans below)
4) Black/Dark coloured
5) No fancy curves or shapes - I like it 'sexy and simple' with sharpish edges. For this reason I don't think most of the NZXT cases suit me.
6) Must be able to accommodate a NH-D14

So I heard a lot of you don't like side panel fans. I've always thought they were a good idea but you know more than me. These are the fans I ahve at my disposal:

Front: 120mm default case fan
Top: 140mm default case fan
Back: 120mm Corsair AF120
Side: 120mm Corsair AF120

I hope that helps (P.S. I have Red and Blue cold cathodes, using my Blues at the moment)

CM690, Fractal R4, Fractal Arc Midi, Corsair 650D, Corsair C70, 600T, 500R, 400R, 300R

There's a few. Some don't have windows, but could be modded in, and others don't but have a windowed side panel available.

You see, I have been heavily considering the C70. Do the negatives outweigh the positives?

Fractal R4 tbh.

Side panel fans are a bit meh tbh

So are cold cathodes, very 2005

I like my cold cathodes, they're very cheap

I'm mainly concerned about GPU temperature. I was heavily considering the Corsair C70, to be honest.

I had a look at the R4 Window and it looks alright, but perhaps a bit too minimalistic for my liking. I'm just being difficult now
