Best case under $70?

blackhawks2013 · Sep 24, 2013

I was looking at the NZXT Source 210 window version, but it has the hard drive rack facing toward the back of the case, which I hate. Any good case?

I like the NZXT H230 for the under $70 price point: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146109

Not sure on the hdd rack

I rather like the Corsair Carbide 300r

Mid size case

I heard that the build quality on the 300r is poor...

having build with it and had my hands on it for an extended period of time i'm not sure where you heard this. the quality of this case is excellent. it could have a few more zip tie-down points and a little more room for cable management but otherwise this is an excellent case in every respect.

I'm not sure there is such a thing as a poorly built corsair case.

I saw the hardware Canucks review. Also some other reviews on newegg. Ill give it a closer look. I might also look into the 400r

generally speaking i personally like the 200r best out of the carbide series... that said, you were quoting a 70 price point so i went with a 70 case.

Yea, but I wont like a full flat front. I like it with mesh, so it allows more airflow. I know it does have good airflow, just my opinion

the 300r is almost nearly in the class of an antec 902 antec 1100 or raven rv02 when it comes to case airflow. can't complain about that case really. the best airflow cases i've seen aren't all mesh. the all mesh cases are nice but they rarely have the best airflow from their fans, and i don't like all the gateways for dust to enter your system. Silentpcreview goes into detail about the effects of case design on airflow and comes to the same basic conclusion i have from 20+ years in this hobby. Which is a mostly mesh case doesn't have great or efficient airflow (they also tend to be loud)

Yea, I've decided to go with the 300r
