Is nobody making normal cases anymore?
I want
>size comparable to Define R4
>either no window or really dark one, no window preferable
>one or two 5.25'' bays, one is absolutely enough
>mesh front
>top/front/bottom dust filters
>support for 140mm fans all around
>3+ 3.5'' drives and 3+ 2.5'' ones simultaneously
>~100€
Does this even exist?

maybe that's close to what you want.

What's wrong with the one you posted? It looks like to fits all your criteria except the mesh front. I found it (Define R5 if I'm right) for 101,27 €.
>>
>>61833630
The fractal Design R5 rather than the R4.
>No window.
>Sound dampened all around.
>120/140mm mounts all around.
>Dust filters in front and bottom of case.
>2x5.25" bays.
>8x3.5" HDD bays. These bays also all support 2.5" drives.
>2x2.5" mounts behind the motherboard
>supports coolers up to 185mm tall

Only criteria it may not meet for you is price. I don't know what 100 of your fake money is in actual money. But it costs $140 here.
>>
>>61833924
No, you grow up gaymer manchild. Why would you want window when you can have silenced case instead.

It's why fractal includes rubber anti-vibration grommets for all the HDD cages now.

No.

>>61834426

Damage control. Flaking paint, vibrating hdds, and stripped screws are the reasons I didn't fall for the fractal meme.

Corsair Carbide 100R is pretty big, has good cable management, but it's cheap as fuck because it doesn't have edgy gamer aesthetics.

What the fuck do you use that for? The only thing I could think of anymore is a hot swap 3.5" bay but in that case you want a few bays.

I really wish they'd sell swappable front panels like that for the Defines.
It feels kind of dumb having to keep the door open all the time to not get dreadful airflow and avoid having dust go in through the gaps next to the filter.

>>
>>61833630
why do you need a new case
buy a proper one once and settle down.
don't even care what you buy, just get some big old piece of shit like the obsididian 900, thermaltake x9, coolermaster HAF, coolermaster cosmos ii... and never look back
>>
>>61833924
>grow up
Wtf
>>
>>61835340
I don't really notice it since my case fans are off 95% of the time due to having good cooling on GPU and CPU.
Though GPU fans are almost always off and CPU fan runs at just 300 RPM.
>>
>>61833924
>windows are nice
Yes. Tempered glass is great. Except when you accidentally bang it and it explodes in a shower of tiny fragments that feed into all of your intake fans.
>>
>>61834341
>>61834426
As an R4 owner I can tell you the rubber grommets will not work however many you put in. Removing the dust covers specifically the bottom one is the only thing that works.
>>

>spinning disk for anything but the odd external backup
REPULSIVE
>>
>>61834069
this. you can't get all that reliably under $100. R4 and R5 cost more but are worth the extra. R5 is pretty flawless imo

Been looking at these two.

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/cTQypg/corsair-case-200r

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Rz2kcf/corsair-case-cc9011036ww

Solid build quality. Solid sides. 5.25" bays. 200R has shit ventilation from the front, though.

>>61841194
>>61841211
>>61841226
That case legitimately shouldn't exist. You're free to love it, but it just hits so many wrong notes for me. No bays. The solid body is nice, but it also means it has shit ventilation. And the open body otherwise is for liquid cooling. And so it's a box that demands liquid cooling and has no bays, but has no window. It's a box designed to be a display piece without the ability to display.

It's a weirdo. It's a cave salamander.
>>
>>61835340
You could just take the door off. Does it make that much of a difference in temperature? I've been thinking about getting one. Do you have a bottom intake fan?
>>
>>61833630
yes it's called master case 5
>>
>>61841270
You need to expand your brain. It has 6 areas where the drives directly mount to the case, far superior to bays.

It has extremely good ventilation because of the case being easy to cable, so good cabling + a solid fan creates a good airflow.

You might be a build brainlet. :^)

>>61841351
I meant 5.25" bays.

Trashbays are not needed.

It's bigger than the R4, but the Enthoo Pro meets most of those requirements. The smaller Enthoo Pro M regrettably isn't available without a window.

>>61841293
I don't think they make the non-windowed Mastercase 5 anymore, which is pretty stupid for a case that's supposed to be all about customization.

>>61841270
first build of mine was in the 200r, I was very disappointed by a number of things, most notably the lack of clearance in the top and front, forget about putting a 240/280 radiator anywhere. Drive cages aren't removable which is disappointing. Much prefer any fractal case.
>>
Likely over your requested price point, but look into Nanoxia Deep Silence series

Have the Antec p100, fits most of the criteria. Might be hard to find though
>>
>>61841554
it's a shame to see FD go this route, always liked them for their professional looking cases. Phanteks can stay king Gaymer, I just don't want FD to fight for that crown, ya know.

>>61841585
nope, but I can teach you how to reduce dust if you care.
>>
>>61833832
>Fractal makes a front mesh that looks like you accidentally kicked the shit out of it

>>
>>61842070
You do know there are other gadgets you can fit in those slots, right? You can theoretically link a tiny display into a 5.25 bay (or two) that functions in the event of emergencies.
>>
>>61842113
>you do know .... right?
fuck off and kys

and why the fuck would i want to do that if i want a case like that pic?
start using your brain
>>
>>61833630
barely anyone includes more than 4 3.5 inch drives, and theres such a push for large amounts of ssd bays when we haven't actually reached a point where more than a few are commonly used.
5.25 bays are also gone, i think some situations dont need them but everything is geared towards dropping features.
glass and open chassis are on the rise still even though you lose features with glass panels
>>
>>61833630
Define C, look it up
>>
>>61833630
The Define C is a great case that could look like a professional case. I highly recommend Fractal in general because of how logical and solid their cases are.
>>
>>61833630
R5 is awesome
>>
Cases with understated looks do exist but they're somewhat uncommon because millennials want the flashy gamer shit. Millennials buy most of this shit so we have to deal with what they demand.
>>
>>61844317
shut up grandpa. millennials are 30 now.
