Budget 0-20k MSI Magforge M100A cabinet feedback

Hi folks. I'm looking to replace my Deepcool Matrexx 30 SI cabinet. I'm looking for something reasonably compact as I keep the PC in the living room, and don't want a huge cabinet.

I was looking at Silverstone Fara H1M but availability is an issue. Currently only available at theitdepot.com. Another option I was considering was MSI Magforge M100A

I have a standard M-ATX motherboard (MSI B550M Pro VDH) and Zotac RTX3060 Twin Edge OC.

The issues I face with my current cabinet are
- No place to hide unused wires (it blocks the HDD cage, so I'm not able to put a 2.5" SSD)
- Very few fans supported
- HDD cage blocks USB-3 connector on motherboard, so no front USB 3 port
- Cleaning the front panel is difficult because of non-detachable front panel connectors.

Please suggest if the cabinet I'm considering is good or there are better options. Budget is max 5k, preferably closer to 4k.

Yes M100A is a good cabinet.
You can also consider the Deepcool Mattexx 40 3FS. It's more compact then the M100A, but you'd have slightly restricted space for future GPU upgrades
