Searching for a case

I want a MID tower ATX case. No side window. I would like to be able to mount at least two 120mm fans up front, one in the rear, and use a 280mm radiator with 140mm fans (corsair h115i) mounted on top. 200mm fan or multiple 120/140mm on the side door would be a plus too.

It can't be ugly as hell either.

And I am having one helluva time finding something that fits these requirements.

EDIT: Maybe I'm going to have to give up on this and just go down to a 240mm radiator with 120mm fans.

FD R5 it is!

Large/multi side panel fans aren't particularly common, but aside from that it shouldn't be all that difficult to meet these criteria. Going with a 240mm rad would expand your options quite a bit though.

Both the Define S and Define R5 are great ATX mid tower cases with solid side panels that can fit your 280mm rad on top with two 120mm fans in front and one 120mm fan in the rear:

Define R5 White - http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/cases/define-series/define-r5-white
Define S - http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/cases/define-series/define-s

If you're ok with mounting the 280mm rad in the front or you decide on a 240mm rad instead, you also have the option of building in the Define C or Define R4:

You can't run a 280mm radiator in front on the R5? What if you pull all the drive cages?

Phanteks has several cases that meet that requirement, although most have windows.

The Enthoo Evolv and others can support 2x 140mm fans or 3x 120mm fans up front, along with the H115i up top, and a 120mm/140mm rear exhaust.

I'm thinking about getting the Fractal Define S right now. It seems to meet my requirements and is not very much money.

I can either put the radiator up top and have one set of fans in push. Or I can mount it up front and have two sets of fans in push/pull.

Corsair 500R may be an option
