I'm building a gaming computer, and I want to know what would be a good case for about $50 dollars or less. This probably isn't possible, but I want one that looks nice and has some cable routing.

I know this is a good community and have some good answers.

Thanks for the help.

Nice cases except I would hope we have moved past the need for Full Tower ATX cases in 30 years .

Even today, a micro ATX case is sufficient for most budget rigs.

I reflected on this already, and I find that getting a micro-atx tower instead of a atx tower is not a goot idea. the diference is like 5cm and you get twice the expansion slots. Visually feels like the same.

I do own a micro-atx case, but on a htpc format:

I only recomend building a micro-atx system in order to use with your home theater, and you want this visual

I also believe we dont need full towers for everyday computing. I have a tower, pictured on my avatar, that is my gaming system, but my main computer is a MacMini. Its the size of your palm and lighter then a videocard

I think going that low on case will come back to bite me in the ass with cable management, this is the one I'm looking at Cooler Master Storm Scout 2 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
