Any suggestions

Any suggestions on a full tower case that has to have a removable mobo tray, great air flow, looks great, and has a lot of pre-installed fans. All for around $200. Thanks

I could be wrong, but I think that removable motherboard trays fell out of favor a long time ago. I don't think you can find a case with a removable tray today.

Why is that? It makes it so much easier.

I just built mine a couple weeks ago without a removable tray and it was super easy. Wouldn't get too wrapped around the axle about that.

Actually, one of the most popular and best performing (temps and noise) full towers is the Thor V2 and it's only $120-$140 (depends on color). Only reason I didn't get it was I didn't have a good place to put it.

seen one or two lately but cant remember who made them

"Why is that? It makes it so much easier."

its because most full tower cases have plenty of room to fit the components in them without needing a removable tray

a removable tray puts the cost of manufacturing up--so cost of case goes up

most decent cases now also have a cpu cut out that lets you install or change the cpu cooler while inside the case--so makes life

much easier

I'm also looking for something with blue LEDs. My favorite color is blue. I dont wanna have to buy extra blue LED fans. I will if I have to but prefer not to.
