I'm getting ready to build a new system. I have a desk with a built in cabinet for a full sized tower, which means that going smaller form factor doesn't buy me anything and that design, side panels, colors, etc are not important since the case is not very visible.
I like the Fractal Designs R5 clean design and if I were building something more visible I would buy it. But what I also like about the R5 is that the USB ports, power button and other controls are on the top front edge of the case. This is valuable for my setup since the PC is inside the cabinet and this location is the most accessible and easiest to use.
So my question is, what cases out there have this same top front edge controls location? If there is a cheaper box than the R5 with the same access I'll buy it and save some money.
Of course I'm going to do my own searching but there are so many cases out there to look at, I thought maybe I could begin by asking for some help here.
