Looking for a casing with the following requirements:

- ATX form factor motherboard.
- At least 1 but preferably 2 front 120mm (not 140mm) fan intake.
- No side intake holes, preferably no window either.
- Top exhaust/blowhole not needed, and preferably without.
- Bottom mount PSU.
- Filters for intake must be mesh, not interested in any sponge filter cases.

No limit on budget, will consider cheap SECC cases as well as higher end cases.

Any recommendations?

Don't need a full tower ... design is great though, wish they had a mid-tower version.

fractal deisgn arc midi r2
I consider the Arc Midi big for a mid tower. The 450D is a bit slimmer and shorter, but it is taller than the Arc Midi, and both have top exhaust holes ... I'd KIV them as last resort if there is absolutely nothing else more suitable.

The only absolute case for u is if you ownself build... Lol.

For the arc midi r2, its the closest to your requirements except for the window.

Arc midi r2 has sponge dust filters for top and front, only bottom is mesh type. It is a pain to remove the sponge for cleaning but it seems to be really effective in catching dust.

Good to know, thanks. Means the Arc Midi is out.

Think fractal define r5 can fulfil TS requirement. Top covers can be left closed, front n bottom intake has mesh filter and supports his fan requirement. get the non windowed version n leave the side panel intake closed as well. from reviews seems to be a very good silent oriented case too.

The new Define S is suitable too if don't need the drive cages. Slightly cheaper, and the front cover is a snap-in panel, not a door.
