1414077 2016-01-08 01:23:00 Can I get some case recommendations please.

Minimum 4x HDD bays
Toolless
Good watercooling design
Good airflow
Aesthetically pleasing
Fan filters a must
Built-in cable management

Too many to suggest.
Even quite cheap cases are often toolless.
Cable management is another thing though...that cuts it down somewhat....I'm a big fan of backplates...

Aethestically pleasing? No, everyone has different tastes, my son would say anything black is hideous.....

The one you chose is fine, pretty hard to go wrong with a case (apart from the really cheap) these days.

1414078 2016-01-08 04:20:00 The other case here has pretty good cable management. You can hide everything behind the side. There are 3 places you can stick an SSD as well (on the side, on the bottom of the case, and under the dvd).

Only prob is, it's only got 1 5.25 bay. But, that's good enough for me. There's not much in it anyway. Just a modular PSU, the mobo, an SSD, the ram / CPU and a DVD

Even tho it looks small, you could add water cooling, if you wanted to. There are 3 holes at the back of the case

Haven't bothered with fans tho it came with 1 / for the front. You can add 3 more 2 on the side, 1 at the back

Actually you are not far from the truth
Basically my time is worth more than the cash to have it built.
