So It's time to upgrade the system, it's getting long in the tooth (Intel C2Q 6850!), and my uses/needs have changed rather radically since the last time I upgraded the desktop.

Previous system was a pretty focused gamer in an Antec 900.

New system is going to be dominantly a low-power, QUIET, and easy to clean beast.

Basically I know what internals I'm getting, but I'm looking for something rather different for a case.

I need mini-ATX tower (preferably, mid-tower size would be ok also). I only need 1 5.25 drive bay and 2-4 internal 3.5 drive bays.

Most importantly however, I need it to have dust filters, and specifically dust filters that are EASY to access/clean.

I can quiet down almost any case a lot, and the layout of the desk, and the room helps a lot for quiet.

But the layout of the room/desk kills for pulling the thing out and doing a really good clean. We moved since I built the 900, and it is a huge PITA when I pull it out every month, for a good cleaning. So much so, that I don't do it anywhere near as often as I should :(

I really want a system that I can do 90% of the cleaning without pulling any of the actual hardware out. And that means dust filters, and dust filters that are easy to access, without opening the case/uninstalling things.

I've found the Silverstone PS07 that seems to fit the bill so far, but I'm sure there are other options?
