Recommended case for a build based on the Asus Rampage V Extreme motherboard

Could anyone please recommend me a case that would fit very well with an Asus Rampage V Extreme motherboard? It's an E-ATX board by the way.

I'm looking for a full tower or larger case (the more spacious the better, weight and volume are not an issue), with top quality materials and structure, preferably screw-less if possible. It should allow excellent cable management as well. Budget is not a limitation at the moment.

I'll most probably be using liquid CPU cooling, so there will be no giant CPU coolers inside, but the air flow should still be well designed. No SLI graphic cards for the moment (probably just a single GTX 980), but it should support SLI scenarios comfortably in case i decide to add a 2nd or even 3rd card in the future. A front/top panel with multiple USB 3 and other commonly used ports is also important.

Last but not least, i really hate dust, so the case should be well encapsulated to prevent as much as possible the dust from piling up inside it.

I don't think listing the other build components i have in mind would have relevance here (probably only the PSU, a Corsair AX1200i), but if needed i can mention them as well.

It's a common recommendation, indeed, and it looks solid. I'm a bit concerned about the materials not quite being top quality, as some reviews revealed, maybe at that price level i can find something of an even better quality and with very similar features.

If you look in the thread list, I'd posted inquiries about the 900D, and the same concerns put forward. I'd seen the same customer-reviews you mention. One of the thread respondents noted troubles "closing the basement door."

It often boils down to a choice of an item that has desired positive features, with a willingness to accept and work with the shortcomings. Of course -- that's why I'm still "looking at cases" myself.

The other problem for me with the 900D is its size. Of course, if someone wants to build a machine with a Rampage and an E processor, a midtower is going to be a bigger challenge.
