Hi, I recently upgraded from a micro-ATX mobo to a sabertooth 990fx, so I needed a case to fit it and decided to go for one of the cheapest in the shop, which was the Sharkoon vs3-v, and holy crap, what a mistake that was. The thing is completely warped, warps when you touch it, and folds in half when you look at it. Rolf Harris could use one of the sides as a god damned wobbleboard. The holes you use to screw the GPU to the case above the expansion ports are like 5mm away from the holes in the GPU, with the GPU fully inserted. One corner of the motherboard is about 2mm away from the riser underneath. Anyway, long story short, can anyone recommend a case that's a payoff between being cheap and utterly rock solid? I don't really care about features as long as it's big enough to fit my ATX motherboard. The case I was using with my ga-78lmt-usb3 before I got the sabertooth was from a 2002 HP pavilion computer, and everything fit perfectly and it is by far the strongest computer case I've ever used. Something along those lines would be ideal.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, but they all look basically the same, specifically the part on the back of the case that you screw expansion cards to. I'd like one where that part is completely reinforced like my old case if they still make them like that. And the part the motherboard rests on, I'd like that to be solid and not flexible whatsoever.

Yeah, I had my eye on that before I bought the 26 quid piece of crap, but wanted to save a bit of money. Oh well, guess you get what you pay for, though IMO there's a difference between 'get what you pay for' and 'doesn't work'.
