So, the Cosmos 1000 wasn't a good case for me. Luckily I have a friend who is buying it off from me. I need to find a new case that

A) Is a full tower.
B) Has great cable management.
C) Is no more than $225.
D) I prefer something that looks like it holds a powerful build, but doesn't light up like a 4th of July fireworks show.

Please, absolutely no recommendations for the Antec 1200 or the Cooler Master Cosmos S.
 
It's not exactly any holiday display but sees effective cooling for under $200! What would that be? Have a look at the Antec 1200. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129043

Three front 120mm fans would see plenty of cooler air drawn in across drives and throughout the case there being a gaming style. The bays see pull out foreward drive cages 3 each that can also be turned around and used as three more 5 1/4" bays for cooling tanks for liquid cooling if used, audio control panels, etc..

I really like the Cosmos, it just doesn't work with my hardware. I'm going to start parting out my hardware I guess. I got a laptop and it's all I really use.
 
I would have to see a link for the Cosmos since I usually look over a ton of cases like the NZXT model seen for quite a bit less at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146029

That's a plain look over the blue led lit Antec model. No thrills while that's also a great brand to consider. Those two were simply selected from 3 full pages of cases seen at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...2010090007 1054808289 4017 1295819209&name=No

Another place to compare is seen at http://www.xoxide.com/full-tower-cases.html Which model Cosmos are you running there? http://www.coolermaster.com/product...ecategory&finalflag=Y&tbcate=17&cateid=000018
 
COOLER MASTER HAF 932 RC-932-KKN1-GP Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119160

One of the other Cooler Master full towers shows the unpainted there. But black or dark colors tends to hold heat while lighter colors tends to reflect heat by the same token.

The 1200 model linked earlier would see the extra cool room air drawn in to compensate for the painted interior once you get past the blue leds or replace those with the plain or multi color Antec 120s which simply amounts to seeing a slight rainbow coloring on the fan blades without the led lighting blasting out at you.
