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.
