hi, after a couple of years with it, i have got bored of owning my shinobi, so i have decided im gonna rebuild in a new case,
budget is £100 ish.

what i want from the case,

GOOD dust filtration, with easy to remove and clean filters,
reasonable sound damping
large window,
good watercooling support, not for now but i would like to go that route in the future.

not a fugly gaming case with bulges everywhere,

also. dont want a massive tower, pc is on desk, and it would look a bit daft with only 1 gpu,

i did like the 750d, but at £130 it is a little more than i want to spend,
thinking about maybe the define r4,

dont want flashy colours,
colour scheme of my work area and rig is black and blue lighting on everything,
 
How about the NZXT H440?

i dont think im ready to ditch the optical drive just yet. i do like that case, but i want to keep my blu ray drive atm, (even tho i might use it once a year...)
also, neither aria, scan or amazon sell it...
found it on overclockers, but dont want a white case, and the black on has red acents, not in my colour scheme

yeh, i have just re-watched ttl's r4 rdview, crap water cooling support,but, i have a nhd14... i dont need water cooling!!
tbh i am sooooo close to ordering that 1. at £90 with a decent window it is not too bad at all,

Can you not stretch the budget by a night down the pub and get a Corsair Carbide Air 540?

the air 540 is in budget, but im not totally sold on the form, i like the look, i like that hardware capacity, ill go and watch ttl's video on that one again, see if it sways me (damn that window is a fookin beauty!!)

UPDATE:
ok, im sold on the 540, no point in re building for the sake of it in a case that is not that much different to what i have. at least going for the 540 will give me different options, and yet another project in the form of re arranging my desk to get the best view of that case,

UPDATE: air 540 ordered, keep ya eyes peeled for a rebuild log!
