So I am looking for a new case. Doesn't have to be full size. I will only one gpu at this point. No more SLI so medium size case should be plenty enough.
I can vouch for the Fractal Define R4 cases aswell since I have one aswell.
Though the R5 model is already out and probably better in some regards.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
I got the R5 somewhat recently. Really like it. Lots of room, allows for good cable management, it's quiet and has many cooling configuration options using fans and/or AIO. I could so something like installing my H80i as an intake to the front of the case, which worked out a lot better than the "default" configuration.
I was a bit concerned with GPU cooling, since that was a small issue with my previous "silent" type case, but this one was a definite improvement. Especially considering that you have lots of ways to achieve good airflow with it.
Oh, and the dust filters on this are really well designed, in my opinion. Just two large ones - really easy to detach and clean and they cover all the intakes (front and bottom).
Fractal all the way. Best case company right now. At least for full atx

- Nanoxia Deep Silence 3:
Solid for its price i guess, gets recommended often. But doesn't really get me wet. Also only 120mm fans at front possible.
- Phanteks Enthoo Pro M:
Really liking the Tempered Glass side. But only 2 HDDs installation possible, without buying extra slots. And no bottom fan possible.
- Fractal Design Define S:
Really liking it. Especially that you install the HDDs/SSDs behind the motherboard wall. Gives so much free room inside. Disliking that Acryl-window though, which gets scratchy just by looking at it from what i read.
- be quiet! Silent Base 800:
This i like the most so far. Hm, actually can't think of a complaint currently for this. xD
Also while i was making jokes just some weeks ago about using LED-stripes and other bling-bling crap on your hardware, i now want to get a case with a window and install a RGB-LED-stripe on the top for some sexy indirect lighting.
Luckily i still have ~50cm leftover of such a stripe. The mainboard i decided on (MSI Z270 Tomahawk) also luckily as a RGB header i can connect the strip to.
