Hey guys!
I'm bulding a new pc and I decided that I would invest in cooling/noise reducing performance instead of investing for a cool design, and that I'd do a paint job, LEDs and all that stuff afterwards
So I'm having a tough time deciding which case to buy, I've seen really good reviews on fractal designs cases, particularly the R4/5, but I don't wanna go too much over 100$ CAD (so pretty much 100 USD maximum).
I absolutely want the case to have an acrylic side panel, so if the case doesn't have one, is it possible to cut out a part of the panel and put some window there? I found an old case that I have with an acrylic panel that I could maybe fit if that's possible too.
I've also found a few nice full transparent cases, but I'm not sure if the airflow's gonna be good?

The PSU I already have, it's an Orion Silent 650W 80+ Bronze, I also already have an SSD and HDD.
I'm maybe gonna overclock in the future, so I need some good airflow.
So, what case do you guys suggest for the best Cooling and Noise performance versus price ratio? Obviously I need an ATX form factor, and I'd like the case to be a Mid/Full tower, but that's not mandatory
Thanks a lot!
