CHEAP alternative to the P280, so under 100 dollars.
No sidefan spot.

those are my two requirements 😛

updated for clarity

I havent checked the price on the p280 but the Antec Solo II is built well. The front is solid and the air comes in from the sides on the front grill. What this does is it deflects sounds from inside the case.

This case seems to be designed for a power supply with no fan. It has a top mounted power supply with a vent on top of the power supply. You could also mount a power supply upside down and pull in fresh air from the top.

If that's the only thing holding you back, that's an easy fix. Just bolt on a blocking plate. The case already has threaded holes to mount a fan, right? Just drill 4 holes in a 120mm plastic or acrylic sheet and screw it in. Simple mod, costs nothing if you use some scrap.

If it's a case you want, don't get hung up on a side fan.
 
Switch the side panels if they are interchangeable, its doable with my Corsair 400R and most cases that I own. Highly doubt there would be fan grill on the right side case panel.
