Not sure which sub-forum to post this. Please move to appropriate place if need be.

Anyway, my first option is the N200 from Cooler Master but unfortunately all stores in my place ran out of stock and can't give me an ETA for restock.

Next is the Corsair Carbide 200R which costs like 77.50 U$ in my area.
The Fractal Design Arc MINI R2 which is 108.31U$
The CM Storm Scout 2 - 110.64U$
and the dreaded Cooler Master 690iii with Seidon 120V at 123.20U$

I love the N200 since it's only 39U$ and already has everything I need. Great airflow and good looks.

Do you guys think I should get a case above 100 bucks? Or?

I'm from the Philippines by the way and cooling is important in a tropical region even if I have an A/C.

Any suggestions?

Hi , iAmAdrian,
A case at the end of the day is individual preferance , as long as you like the look of the case and it suits your needs
that is all that matters. That being said it is up to you weather you spend more 100 bucks , with cases the old addage is true ,
"You get what you pay for" in most cases, admittedly some are overpriced for what you get.
Be sure with whatever case you select that your cpu cooler will fit in the case aswell as your GPU. Good airflow is beneficial.
some good mid tower cases you might consider
Coolermaster HAFXM
Coolermaster HAFXB EVO
NZXT Phantom 630
Thermaltake Chaser A31 Black Tower
Thermaltake Chaser A41 Black Tower

The 200r is a great budget case, the Carbide series are pretty solid in general. Just make sure you like the looks and it has front airflow (if you are not fully watercooling). A side window is oké, but will limit airflow. If you want the coolest equipment, just take a closed case with front, side, back, top airflow possibilities =).

Yes, what I actually need are these:

-Front intake
-Black interior
-Bottom Mounted PSU
-Clear side window
-Rubber grommets on the motherboard tray is preferable but not necessary

The 200R is really, a piece of eye candy BUT... the front intake is limited to side vents. Unlike the N200 from CoolerMaster which grabs the air right in front of it making it ideal. Also the mesh panel looks good since my intake fans are Sickle Flows with LED.
Basically, I'm trying to show off some blings with my system.

I'm sticking with air-cooling for now since I have a limited budget and custom water-cooling just eats away your cash even if it's closed loop.

If I'm correct the corsair carbide 300r has a windowed version =). Also, there is the Corsair Obsidian 450d and the Cooler Master k380. The 300r is pretty solid, so is the Obsidian.If those are not within your budget, the k380 has green/red/(blue) led and comes with 1 fan. You might need to add some extra fans to the case for better airflow!
