Hello

Sorry to post yet again about cases but I wouldn't have expected this to be the biggest problem

I require the following:
1. At least front fans, reasonably silent
2. Must not have lights on fans or must be easily turned off. Dumbest idea, this should've been custom not omnipresent
3. Must have mesh over the front fans, or nothing. If no other way, the glass front panel should be easily removed without the use of a hammer preferably
4. Must have at least a 240 mm slot on top to mount my liquid cooling
5. Side panel must be easily removed
6. Under 100 in price, and I've seen plenty around 50, they're just all bad (regardless of price)
7. Top USB / jack slots, and reset/power buttons
8. Amazon will do fine

Thank you

Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L: This compact case features a mesh front panel for airflow and comes with one pre-installed fan. It has a removable acrylic side panel and supports up to a 240mm liquid cooling radiator on the top. It's priced around $60.

Thank you. It has one flaw unfortunately that I haven't foreseen; side panel usb slots, instead of top. Side panel usb slots are both out of reach, and in reach of possibly getting snagged

case candidates I managed so far:
MSI MAG FORGE 100R

Did you already consider the Meshify C?

I'm pretty sure it meets all of your criteria. And it's a fantastic case.

This does look good, although it has a front glass panel, it's well far distanced allowing for airflow

This also has lateral spacing for airflow, only I didn't notice it until now. Last thing I need to find, is a case with an off switch for the damn leds, or removable, or that are plugged separately than the fans and therefore not plug them in at all

P.S. These manufacturers are insane. Neither mention the off switch for the stupid leds I don't want anyway, and surely increase the price...

I'm cross referencing the cases with "AURA Sync" ASUS MB software, which can turn them off.
x = incompatible
L= compatible

L (review) GameMax Optical Mid-Tower
x MSI MAG FORGE
L (apparently) Fractal Design

I'm pretty sure it's going to be a GameMax, it has the most common sense of all I've seen. Just need to decide which and why

74 GameMax Brufen Mid -Tower
+fan behind MB, +AURA cable, +video card bracket, +ARGB hub with 0 brightness setting, -report of pin missmatch with ASUS MB?

GameMax F15G Glass
71 GameMax F15G Glass +remote (off turns off leds?)
