I'm looking at building a new rig but are having trouble finding the right case. I've looked at a ton of cases over the past week, but still can't seem to find the one that is just right for me.

**What I am looking for:**


■quiet

■side window

■smaller form factor

(but no smaller than an mATX. It also needs to be big enough to possibly have SLI Titan x's or other large graphics cards. The CPU cooler I want is 160 mm [NH-D14] so it has to be able to accommodate that as well)

■preferably have at least one 5.25 bay



**What I've considered:**

■air 240 (too small for the d14, and no 5.25)

■ air 540 (maybe too big)

■ Node 804 (seems like a possible contender)

■ Prodigy M (this was my first pick until I saw that large graphics cards can't fit when and ODD is installed)

■ R5 (bigger than I'd like)
