need mid tower case suggestion for gaming

i need a nice new mid tower case for gaming. it needs to have 2 front 140's that pull in air without a filter, a rear 140, and room on top for my 280mm rad to exhaust air through the radiator and have the radiator mounted on the top. open to suggestions. not a corsair fan
 
Fractal Design Define S and R5 are both possibilities. They come with removable dust filters on the front and bottom, but I don't really understand why you'd want to remove them unless you're worried about less cooling? I don't think that's an issue, especially with the Define S. You can throw in more fans if you want(they both come with two 140mm fans). The max in the Define S is 3x140 front, 3x140 top, 1x140 bottom, 1x140 rear. R5 can take 2x140 front, 2x140 bottom, 1x140 sidepanel, 3x140 top, 1x140 rear
 
I know it has been a couple days, but just chiming in with another recommendation of the R5. I own 1 R3, and 2 R4's, and have found them to be great cases. The R5 seems to have addressed my only complaints with the R4's (swap which direction the front panel opens, and changes the way the dust filters are removed).
