So I've looked up about some case models which met my requirements (bottom psu, dust filters, removable pci slot plates).
list_1:

  • Cooler Master CM 590 III
    Corsair Carbide SPEC-01
    Fractal Design Focus G
    Aerocool AERO 800
    Cooler Master MasterBox 5
BUT they cost pretty more than models w/o removable pci slot plates.
list_2:

  • DeepCool D-Shield
    DeepCool TESSERACT BF
    Zalman ZM-T5
    Zalman ZM-T1 Plus
    Zalman ZM-T4
    Genesis Titan 660 Plus
    GameMax One
    GameMax G535-CR
I'd buy 10 plates for $2 from Aliexpress and save $20 for additional fans, for example. Is it worth to buy case from list_2 + pci plates from Aliexpress?
 
Solution
a lot of the cases with the pop out pci slots. if you pre line up your gpu and any other card you dont need those spacers. the other thing is some case vendors toss in a few spacers for free. my anetc one case had them.
