Case with 120MM fans and no door in the front

I'm looking for a new mid tower case with 120mm fan in the front and preferably in the rear also. So far I've only found ones with a door over the drives (which i DONT want) or ones with 80mm fans. Anyone have any suggestions?

thanks!
 
The Coolermaster Centurion 530, 531, and 532 all come with a single 120MM intake fan, with room for a 120MM exhaust fan as well, and no door over the drives. The only exception is that the 530 has trapdoor's over the two top 5.25" drive bays. Seems like people are having mixed results on those and how well they function.
 
thanks for the replies guys.. i'll check them out.. as for the Antec P160.. I guess i should have added I prefer a case that doesnt look like a kids toy.. thanks though


 
They can be found in black. Try mwave.com, froogle, etc. All else fails, you can get it at coolcases.com - they sell them both in standard and modded configs. but their price is higher.

Some models of Evercase also have 120 capability on one or both also sold under the AMS name. Got a good review (4252 and 4292 as part of a system) for quietude OOTB by SPCR. This is the chassis used as the basis for the Asus Vento, if that matters at all.

Another vote for centurian -good build quality - good airflow - nice front connects- good air flow - awesome case for the money.
 
I just picked up a Swing and I'm happy with it. I hate front doors too and it fitted the bill. It's Thermaltake, so you're not getting the utter best quality out there, but the price is really good, it's quiet, easy to assemble and looks great. Just need to get another 120mm fan for intake.

That Centurion also looks like a winner.
 
Lian Li V1000 for mid tower. (V1100 is the door model)
Check Lian-Li's website. They have a brand new one, if you'd like one even smaller.

I have this chassis (different front panel and no side vent) and it's pretty nice after cutting out the back exhaust. I'm using it in my "main" rig. Looks like prices have gone up a bit - used to be able to get these for under $50 (more like around $40).
 
I've got 2 LX-6A19's, one that I modded, and one done by MNPCtech.

Great case, roomy, strong, and can be quite quiet once you cut out the stamped grills (as said by others!) and using some good fans.

I have this case and just LOOOVE it ... the front has an air filter behind the silver popout piece on the bottom and it has kept a full cat worth of cat hair out of my front fan. 120mm fan in the back does a great job as well. I just wish it had the Antec/Chieftec mounting mechanism as I have a black side window from an Antec which does not mount in this case.
