Best cases for my build ?

Priced below $100 would be nice

Minimalistic and sleek design is preferred but am open to anything thats good

Was thinking of getting the Phanteks ethoo but cant find in AUS

This is my build without the case:

The Corsair 200R and 300R will also work.

It depends on the shape of the case. If you go to the case manufacturers websites they usually have the cpu cooler clearance in the specs.

Don't go by width of case. Go by case spec for max cpu cooler height.

165mm....if i get a corsair 300r, itll only leave me with 5mm of room.

that doesnt sound like a lot...

Usually I like at least 10mm - so if you press on the side it won't touch the cpu cooler top. Sop look for a case with 175mm clearance if you can.

What happened to the $100aud limit?

Try a Coolermaster StormTrooper 186mm - http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_i...


yeah i kinda need to stay in that $100 AUD budget, but it doesnt seem like any cases would fit it. so perhaps i need to look for another cooling option ?
