Any cases better than 800D?

I currently have an 800D as a case. I'm looking to sell my rig and build a new one, and the only thing left to plan out is the case.

I love my 800D, it is by far the best case I've ever owned, and I'm finding it very difficult to find anything better. I don't really like the Silverstone TJ series cases, either.

Requirements are to have a side panel, be very attractive, have fantastic features and cable management options, and all around be better, sleeker, and more awesome than the 800D.

I've looked at caselabs cases, but for right now, I can't afford to watercool my rig for an extra $800, I can only afford to sell my rig off and build a new one with a little extra cash ($500 or so). Caselabs cases are truly awesome, but without watercooling I feel like they're a complete waste for me.

I do love the 90 degree turn in the fortress/raven series cases by silverstone, though.


How loud it is doesn't matter too much, but the quieter the better.
 
What other requirements do you have? Does it need to be a full tower? If you're using air cooling, there are many cases better than then 800d as that's primarily a WC case.
 
There is also many better cases for WC than 800d.
800D just used to be very popular for some reason.
 
If you like the case why not sell off the components separately and keep the case, PSU, etc. that don't need to be upgraded?

Generally a full system will sell for less than the sum of its parts.

This.

@OPCases "better" than the 800D, at least for WCing would be CaseLabs and MountainMods...which as noted are kinda pricey.
 
If I were doing any watercooling it'd just be an H100 for now.

Probably just air cooling, nothing too fancy. The TJ series of cases are... ugly to me. I'll likely keep using the 800D, but I want to know if there's anything out there that looks as great while offering all the features the 800D has to offer.

Size doesn't matter, needs to fit two Asus DC2 7970's inside of it, and probably an H100. The 650D is nice but it's not as nice as the 800D as far as looks go. I do like that it has dual 120mm rather than triple, because I probably won't be watercooling for a while.
