Okay. I have a limit for the cost of my case. $35 if not $60 . I need space for airflow, the damn CPU cooler, Graphics card and it needs to fit an ATX motherboard . You can check out the parts I already picked for it. I'm sticking to a Red theme but the case can/has to be Red, Black, White and Silver. LED case fans that come with the case can be any colour (Going to replace them if they are not Red anyway). Any cases that are good? I need space for airflow and the electronics anyway. I don't need any space saving cases. I have all the room I need beneath my desk. I need USB and Audio jacks available on the front (top and side NEAR the front could be possible).

Already gone over cases (I will be adding a * at the end of this name for ones I possibly will buy)

Thermaltake Commander G41*
IN WIN GT1 Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower*
NZXT Phantom 240*
 
This is the usually the only budget case that I recommend (it is $10 over your budget, but well worth it).

It doesn't feel like a cheap case at all, and that is what is great about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UldimCki9pg

However, you would want a Hyper T4 for this case as the 212 Evo doesn't quite fit. But if you are not overclocking, any of those CM coolers should be fine. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103182&cm_re=t4-_-35-103-182-_-Product

I will be running the computer a lot but I will never overclock unless it's %100 required. It will add this to a list for a possible case. Looks nice. White isn't a favorite but who cares. Doesn't damage the build so what the hell. Thanks for the video because I will be checking it a lot. Love his voice. He actually films the case with a good camera and goes over the whole product. Thanks.

 


I highly recommend hardwarecanuks as they are the only reviewer who I believe is reliable and truly makes a proper review. He does proper critique and shows no bias to any company.

HardwareCanucks is amazing. He doesn't leave anything out either. Love how he actually shows the price so you don't have to check every link in the description just to waste your time finding an overpriced item. Oh yeah, I love that profile picture of yours.

I don't plan on buying until I have a thousand dollars to actually use. God that's going to take awhile.

 


For $1000, you can get a nicer case and there may be new cases out by then. for that price, I recommend the Phanteks Enthoo Pro or Fractal Design Arc Midi R2.
