Im looking for a simple case with no LED lights (preferably black) with good airflow
I don't need the best cable management, but just enough so that the cables don't interfere with the airflow
mid tower or full tower, I dont mind as long as it doenst go at least 10$ over budget.
I would like for it to be wide enough to fit a tall cpu cooler
I would like fans on the back, the side, the top, and the front
Im going to sli 2 gtx 660
Having 3 hard drives inside
Putting an ATX motherboard inside, and if you could put a psu on the bottom, that would be nice

My recommendation would be the NZXT Phantom 410: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006I2H084/?tag=pcpapi-20
Great airflow, decently quiet, and quite a ways better than the 400R (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/solo-ii-400r-buc-ravager-seiran,3274-10.html).

Edit: Another sterling option would be the Rosewill Thor V2: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0058P5S9A/?tag=pcpapi-20
It has an LED front fan, but the LEDs can be turned off. It has amazing cooling, great noise specs, and it can fit anything you care to put in it (http://www.anandtech.com/show/4648/rosewill-thor-v2-the-god-of-cooling-and-silence).

In what way is it not? The 410 is a fairly simple, streamlined design. It also, as said, significantly outperforms the 400R, which is worth more than looks in my mind.

Edit: However, if OP wants something really ascetic, you can't get much less ornate than the Fractal Design Define R4 (http://us.ncix.com/products/?usaffiliateid=1000031504&sku=75044&vpn=FD-CA-DEF-R4-BL&manufacture=Fractal%20Design&promoid=1377) which is also an assuredly excellent case: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/lian-li-pc-b12-nanoxia-deep-silence-1-silverstone-ft-02s-usb3,3378-17.html

The Thor is an excellent case, but I'm afraid that you're incorrect about the 400R. The Phantom 410 was quieter, and had superior GPU cooling and equal CPU cooling. The 400R is a fine case, but the Phantom is markedly better.
