Hey guys, I'm looking for a case that is good quality with great stock fans. I'm looking for a case that has great air flow with excellent cable management that also comes with good dust filters. Price isn't an issue as long as I can get a case that will meet those needs.
I would prefer to have the front i/o on the side rather than on the top of the case, unless they can offer a cover for it to prevent dust from falling into the usb, mic, headphone ports.

The cases that I took a look at were:
Fractal define S
NZXT phantom 410
NZXT H440
Corsair 450D
Phanteks enthoo pro

I was going to go with the Phanteks enthoo pro but the one thing that concerns me with it is the side vents on the front panel aren't filtered. I want a case that is completely filtered from all vents.

Other than the cases I have listed, what are some other cases that are similar to them that will meet my all my needs or most?
Thanks in advance if anyone can me out!

I was completely sold on the Enthoo Pro but it has 1 issue that is keeping me from going for it (you may consider it a non issue), that is the front side panels not being filtered. I'm wondering, I wouldn't obstruct to much of the air flow if I completely sealed off those side vents with invisible tape (from the inside) right?

The new version of the Enthoo Pro M will have a fully ventilated front panel and sides. If I didn't already have a case I love I would have waited for this. Here's a preview from Dmitry at CES.

i built my first pc last year and used the enthoo pro and it was a breeze. i have all stock fans coonected to mobo instead of phanteks hub and they are set to silent mode in asus suite . my cpu temps are avg 28 degrees Celsius load might goto 35 degrees if im gaming.
i have never cleaned the dust from the inside of case since i built the pc in june of 2015 and heres the only dust that i see is on the psu shroud top.
my house is a dust magnet and my pc is on 24/7.

i love my enthoo pro but this is the only pc i have ever built.

I have the H440 and it's great, but the front I/O is on top. :( A better suggestion might be the Phanteks Enthoo series cases. The Enthoo Pro M is a nice one, as is the Evolve ATX. Phanteks is really stepping up their game in regards to price per feature and their build quality is top notch too. Can't go wrong with them.

Now I'm considering to go with the Enthoo Luxe instead, however I'm not really an LED's guy and would rather not have them. The luxe has every intake opening filtered as far as I know.

In terms of cooling wise, which of the two would cool better with the stock set up (no modifications or changes in stock fans set ups)? They're pretty much the same case except that the luxe has an additional 140mm fan at the back top and a shielding on the front panel.
