Hi, I'm looking for a good case to use with a Scythe Susanoo HSF.

Basically, I need a rather wide mid- or full-tower case, no less than 200 mm wide on the inside (8 in), with a mesh side panel, either a large mesh window or a full mesh side. It must have a remove-able motherboard tray, as mounting the board into a case with the Susanoo is impossible, and it must not be a motherboard spacer-free case, as the rear bracket for HSF needs at least 7 mm clearance between the back of the MB and MB tray. Having a good-size cutout on the back of the tray for back-plate would be a nice bonus.
Ideally, the mesh window would be no less than 200 mm X 200 mm, placed either on the top for the bottom-mount PSU, and right in the middle for the top-mounted PSU.
Corsair 600T seems to be an almost perfect fit for the needs - large enough 240mm/side mesh window, but a little too far down for a bottom-mount PSU case in my scenario, as the top 2 fans on the Susanoo will not be able to draw much fresh air. See at newegg - Corsair 600T. I looked at Antec Nine, Eleven, and Twelve Hundred cases, and those wouldn't do what I want to do.

Any ideas for a good alternative? The 600T is a bit too expensive.
 
I own a Corsair 600T and in my opinion it is an excellent case and is easily modded. I would personally recommend just waiting for it to go on sale. NZXT and Cooler Master have some good alternatives as well if you're interested. What kind of price range were you looking at?
 
600T is not unaffordable, was just trying to see some competition before I throw down nearly 200 bones on a case. Susanoo is a huge cooler, almost the size of mATX board in itself. It is positioned covering the top right part of the motherboard near entirely. I want to line up the mesh with the 4 100 mm fans on it, or get as close as possible. Cooler Master HAF 932 looks like might work too if the top window is mesh and not acrylic. Quite a few cases would do the trick if the acrylic window was mesh instead of acrylic.
