huhu long time never active and this is my first mission lol
Lotsa chassis fit your criteria, try looking these:

BitFenix Ronin
Cooler Master 690II / III / Scout II
Corsair 300R
Thermaltake ms-1

there are more but I believe these will be the main ones for consideration unless you have a larger budget wink.gif

would recommend the Ronin if watercooling is taken into account.  thumbup.gif
It's able to fit a H100 with push & pull config, but mobo dependent - no thermal armor etc.

CM Scout II is a great choice if you tends to move your PC a lot.
Corsair 300R, a solid one but no good clearance for to radiator.
Not much comment for the MS-1 from Thermaltake though, haven't tried one yet. lol

thank masters, and yes, I already bought the CM Storm Scout 2, a very solid build quality and cool grey color thumbup.gif , only down side is it comes with only 1 led exhast fan. doh.gif

lol yes, lotsa ppl complained about the fan package on the ScoutII but CM's fans are not the best out there after all so you have the option to add the ones you like wink.gif

yes, the 120mm stock red led fan is spinning very slow at full speed, I think only around 1000+- rpm showing in my software. feel like want to replace fan rclxub.gif

Using the scout 2 as well. Love it. Been using it over a year and amazingly there's still no dust inside. Just opened it up 2 weeks back to install a new GPU. In addition to the kit fan, I've installed additional 3 xigmatek fans and dust filters to go with it. Didn't do anything about the top cover though. I left it unfiltered since it's the outflow

wow cool, do you mind post some picture of your Scout 2 and fans installed? rclxms.gif
I am currently using 2pcs 120mm CM Sickle FlowX red led as front intake but it running at 2000rpm full speed, very load wind blow sound. shocking.gif

For casing fan i think better opt for high CFM than high static pressure....IMHO icon_rolleyes.gif
*
yes, would prefer positive pressure. less dust nod.gif



QUOTE(lucidlts @ Feb 11 2014, 04:06 PM)
Instead of high speed fans, why not invest on some quality fans that has low RPM but high static pressure?  biggrin.gif
Noctua fans, Noiseblocker fans, etc...

wow, cool fan there, but is out of my budget. cry.gif
