This is being release in 3 days. I own it's predecessor, and they're top quality mid-tower's, in my opinion.

I'd been wanting to replace my CPU cooler for some time and decided on the Noctua NH-U14S. But, it's a 165mm tall and my case was too narrow. I bought the Cooler Master HAF 912 at New Egg for $49.99 after rebate. I like it. Not sure it will fit every cooler, but I think it fits up to 175mm tall. The case mentioned in the post above mine is not even 8" wide, so it definitely would not fit all coolers. It would't fit the Noctua I got as that case is the same width as my old case. The Cooler Master case I mentioned is 9.1" wide. IF you want even wider, go with the HAF 922 at 10" wide for $99. But, I think all the cooler master air coolers will fit in the 912. The tallest I found was 168mm. I like it. There's a lot to it for $50.

is corsair carbide 300R case good ?

You just need to decide what cooler you are going to use before you buy a case. That Corsair is 8.3" wide. My HAF is 9.1" and it says that it will hold a cooler 175mm, so if the Corsair gives about the same amount of room for cabling behind the main board plate, then that case will hold a cooler no taller than about 155. So, it won't fit your needs if you get the biggest Cooler Master cooler. Again, like I said, determine which cooler first or else get the widest case you can afford, so that it will fit any probable future build that you want to put in it. I wouldn't buy a case narrower than 9" if you plan on using an air cooler.

Yep. Solid mid-tower. Slightly over-priced, but good.

Let me add one more thing. I went with the HAF 912 because I already had a front plate with USB 2, USB3, card reader slots, Sata, eSata, and audio connections. If you want USB3 and esata on your front panel, then you don't want to go with the HAF 912. It only has USB and audio. Or, you could find a plate like I already have and install it in the top bay. Mine was about $25 I think.
