Non-gaming case similar to Diablotek FLY?

[dagoldman]

I am looking for a "non-gaming" case.
I do not want a "space-ship" appearance.
It's not that easy to find these days.
I guess it's supply and demand...

I want something sturdy, attractive and functional.
I want at least three external 5.25" drive bays.
I want usb and audio in/out ports in front.

I do not want a fan / vent on top.
Seems too risky, dust and liquids can enter. 🙁

I do not want the buttons / ports on top.
I normally keep desktop computer on desk top.

I do not want a door covering the front.
Why would I want to hide the optical drive bays?

I've done a lot of looking around:
- A lot of cases have "space-ship" appearance.
- A lot of cases have top vents.
- A lot of cases have button / ports on top.
- Some cases have a door covering the front.

Here's a case I found that might work:

Here's another, but only two 5.25 drive bays:

Any opinions on these two? I'm not too excited about the name,
but could live with it.

Any similar cases to recommend as alternative?

Here is something else I found:

Cooler Master RC-311B-BWN1 Elite 311 Mid Tower Case

http://www.amazon.com/Elite-311-Blue-side-Window/dp/B005SERYRU

I'm not that excited about the window on the cooler master.

I don't really like the lower front of of the Diablotek FLY

Here is another reasonable option I found:

Cooler Master FOR-500-KKN1 Force 500
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119271

It looks good, has no side window, has USB 3 in front.
I guess two 5.25 inch front bays is OK.
Not sure what I would add beyond two optical drives...
