Guys, what mATX cases with nice cable management do we know about?

TJ08-E, A04 and the Fractal Minis?

Im very partial to how my FT03 looks and is layed out very easy to get good cable management if you pick the right power supply, the cleanest looking layout ive come across only reason I decided to go m-atx in fact I built my main rig around this case hahaha
 

What's wrong with an 80mm fan hole? There's two 120mm front intakes and one 120mm top exhaust, so the 80mm fan hole lets intake air flow through the case better. You could always put a 80mm fan there to help exhaust air.

If it's the looks, then you can always put a standard fan grill there I guess.

The FT03 has a very unique layout, I'm going to have to find your build post :p

EDIT: Need more angles!

I think I read somewhere that it was not a standard fan hole? That it was seventy-something and no standard fan could be installed there?

If it's a 80mm fan I have no problem.

I have some pics from while I was building it here, this is a lil mod I had to do cause of my psu orientation but not all psu's have them like this antec so may or may not need this mod.

here is how I layed out the hard drive area theres space to run cables under the drives keeps everything out of the way.
