I'm looking for a new mid-tower case to replace my P182. I'm looking for something that fits into the following criteria:

Has to have:
1) Simple, no frills, professional look. Think Lian Li type styling. LED's, "gaming" themed crap is an absolute no-go.
2) No front door.

However, I'd also like most if not all of these features:
3) Very good cooling. I'm thinking something along the lines of two 120mm intake fans, one or two on top, a rear fan, side fan.
4) The more cable management features the better.

Not essential:
5) Dust filters would be nice. I have a dog.
6) If the case is quiet, that'd be great.

I'm leaning towards something like the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811352031

Toss out some ideas for me. :)

I got the Thermaltake S71 Urban. I'm very happy with mine. It has a fan filter on the top, bottom and front. Super quiet, and a damn good looking case.

The midi R2 seems like a great choice. I have the Fractal R4 in white, which I think also fits all of your needs. It's a great case too.

The Arc Midi R2 is a great case, but too expensive at the current price. It was $65 (!!) just a few days ago. If you're going to get it though, OutletPC has the best price currently.

The Arc XL $100 is also worth looking at.

Finally... if you want to go all out in terms of cooling, there's always Rosewill Thor V2 $111.
