Considering a new case, advice wanted

How well does the 180mm fan in the top work? Seeing how its positioned, most other cases got 1-3 fan slots in the top blowing air straight through the top panel, but that one got it angled to blow air out the back.

Most of those cases are also designed for having a liquid cooling system in them, with the radiator up top since there is more space then at the back, also it's less obstructed from objects like walls so you can get better air flow.

I can upload pictures of what mine currently looks like. It's not the best cable management by far, and I'm sure that if I spent many more hours toying around it could look much better, but for right now I'm happy with what it looks like. If I had a modualr PSU, I'd probably be much happier, but working with what I have right now is pretty good.

EDIT: I appologize for the low quality pictures, but this will give you a general idea of what's available for cable management. It didn't look terrible before, however I think it looks better with everything behind the motherboard space.

Im not the one who posted those pictures, but im well experienced with cable management overall.
To get some nice cable management, you just have to be creative
Using just one case, i have managed to change my cable management multiple times due to coming up with new ideas.
It takes time to get it "perfect", but its well worth it.

Thanks! I think I spent about 3.5 hours in total doing it. I changed the layout multiple times, and sometimes had a hard time of deciding what cables were going to go where and be connected how. The thing I love about the Phantom is that there are a ton slots for zip ties. To get where it's at now, I've gone through about 200 regular size ties, constantly changing the positioning. I guess that's one benefit of being OCD, I didn't want to stop until I thought it looked acceptable!

I'm still trying to decide which case to go for, so any extra input of current suggested cases would be really nice.

Following cases have been suggested to me, both on this forum and IRL:
1. Silverstone Raven RV03
2. NZXT Phantom
3. Corsair Obsidian 650D
4. Fractal Design XL
5. Lian Li PC-A71FB

I will mention the things im after once again:
* Good airflow, even for SLI
* A fan slot for 120mm on the back for my Antec Kühler H2O 620
* No annoying bling-bling LEDs
* Full ATX
* Front panel connectors on top
* Rest of the case fans should be +140mm
* Budget up around 200€
