Hello
Im looking for a pc gaming case $65 or less that has good airflow and cable management. i don't care if it has a window and i would prefer if it looks good and not crapy. I would also prefer not to get a mini itx case because i don't like stuffing all of the parts in it and there all squished together plus they block airflow. :)

Whether it looks crap or not is down to personal opinion. The Cooler Master HAF 912 has good airflow for $45.

It was a good case. Now it is 4 years old. Also, no USB 3.0 in front.

At sub $70 Corsair sticks out as the best overall. Great value and performance. Based on reviews and owning the 300R, it does live up to expectations. My system is very quiet and enough room behind mobo for cables.

@Supermon221. Which case? I assume GT1. Personally, not my preference in style. I like simple and clean.

Yeah it is old but whenever I hear airflow it always makes me think of HAF. Stupid acronym.

I'm actually a fan of the NZXT Source 210 Elite. It's a lot less flashy then most gaming cases and still only 1 USB 3.0, but I like the lines

As the carbide spec is cheaper you could buy additional fans for it which would largely increase it's cooling ability. Just installing one extra fan in the rear would make the cooling very similar to the 300r as they have a very similar layout. Also imo the 300r is uninteresting to look at, the carbide spec with a window, red LED's and interesting styling is more exciting.

The Carbide Spec won't even hold an EVO cooler , that's why I won't recommend one.

Wow. Good call. Crazy to think a case can't support the most popular CPU cooler on the market.

shocking. Compare EVO height to those cases allowed CPU cooler height. I can't believe Corsair did that with the Spec series.

All Corsair Spec -01 02 03 have max height of 157mm and the EVO is 159. It is mind boggling that they didn't make this case at least 170mm for coolers.
