Hey guys,
I am currently in the process of building a new computer I have all the parts pretty much ordered and or am picking them up in the next 1-2 days. Only issue I am having is the original case I had wanted to use is not available to pick-up so I am looking for suggestions. I am located in Calgary, AB and will be using Memory Express for the case, they have a price match policy so any Canadian reputable e-retailer will be beat.
Budget Range: around 50~70$cad (for the case)
Cases I have been looking at thus far:
-Bitfenix Outlaw (50$) - read about issues with large cpu coolers, probably out of the question
-Bitfenix Shinobi ATX-mid (58$)
-Corsair 200R (60$)
-Corsair 300R (75$) - like it but its a bit expensive
-Fractal Arc Midi (90$) - a little too much
I am looking for a very simple case, basically a box with good ventilation. I would prefer no lights or windows, and something very plain. I don't like the over the top angles and odd trimmings. I'd be very grateful for any help that you guys can offer me.
Thanks!
Computer setup thus far:
Core™ i5-3570K Processor, 3.40GHz w/ 6MB Cache
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
ASRock Z77 EXTREME4
G.Skill ARES Series 8GB PC3-12800 Dual Channel DDR3 Kit, Orange (2 x 4GB)
WD 1TB Blue 7200rpm SATA III w/ 64MB Cache
XFX Radeon HD 7950 Double D 900MHZ 3GB
Antec Basiq BP-550 Plus
Windows 7 64-bit
Case!
