I'm in the same boat as you I don't get real worried about cable management with my own builds just because I don't want it to be a pain if I need to undo something and don't want to spend an hour just digging threw cables.

exactly, I learned my lesson the first time long ago put together a pc fired it up worked perfectly spent a very long time doing cable management then moved the PC to where I wanted it ,fired it back up it didn't fire up then when it did other issues happened, and I ended up undoing all my nice cable management work now I just do my best to have the cables behind the board

I got it because it's a little higher end and it has more power capacitor's as well and I wanted a mobo with at least 3 PCI slots.

I think I'm going to enjoy it as well.

There case has been on my Radar for a while now:

That is a very nice looking case for sure and I don't mind the look of modern case's,what I do mind is that non of the manufacturer's seem to consider that there's some people out there that still like to use these thing's called DVD Drives and front panel's.

I really love the Phanteks Enthoo case with metal side panel because it can accept a Noctua NH-15D cooler if needed and has 3 3.5 bays as well,granted it doesn't have the same modern look as the ProArt that you linked but it still looks nice,I think if the Enthoo is still being made in 2 years I'm going to buy one just to toss in my closet so I have a spare incase anything happen's to my current Enthoo,I heard Phanteks was sold and I forget to who and I think Corsair and knowing my luck if I wanted another Enthoo in 5 or 6 years they'll have been discontinued.

Yeah forget about the 5.25 inch bays, those went away like old people like us. External USB 3.0 enclosure works fine or buy one of those thin DVD rom case. The down side of the ProArt case is limited HDD support so for those with unlimited data cap, VPN, and usenet accounts, it won't be good enough.

I meant to say 5.25 bay's not 2.5,I don't really care about having 5.25 bay's so long as I have a few smaller bay's,I don't really trust just having one usb port at the front of the tower built in and then it screws up and cost's a fortune to buy a replacement from the manufacturer.
