need a nice simple case, I've grown out of the aggresive look of antec and coolermaster cases. Looking for something with a nice clean and simplistic design. something similar to the fractal define r3/mini or LIAN LI PC-A04B. I would get one of these but i wanted to see what other options i have and what better place than hardforums!

requirements:
must be able to hold at least micro atx
1-2 HDD and 1 SSD
high end video cards like a gtx 580/amd 6990 etc etc
tool-less SSD and a very big cpu cut out like what corsair cases have <- i can live without this but its definitely a big +

stay around 100-150 ish price, i can go a bit more if quality is amazing i guess

5.25inch bays dont matter at all, since i don't ever use more than one 5.25 inch bay, hell i never use my dvd player anyways. 0 could be okay, idc.
 
Lian Li PC-V354 is a nice one for MATX. It's small and clean. Very sweet case I use for a file server myself. Also used the Q08 which is essentially a itx version for a lan gaming rig. They both are awesome.

The fractal case is really nice, but the quality isn't half as nice as the Lian Li. A04b is a nice one as well but a little larger. But since you're looking for simplistic looks Lian Li is gonna be your go to company I think.
 
corsair 650D... might be bigger than you wan't though. i imagine a lot silverstone or lian li cases would be good for what you want.
 
Are you looking for mATX cases or ATX cases or both?
 
if matx try silverstone tj08-e, cheap, great cooling, fits all long gpu, huge cpu coolers, very nice case
for sheer looks i'd go lian li, they lack features, but quality is superb
 
i've had my eyes into bitfenix cases... most of their cases are minimalistic design. Most doesn't hv sidefan but considering I'm mostly use air-cooling, i've opted for other cases... would have choose bitfenix cases if im going for water-cooling...
