The best computer case for $100 (£70)

PolanaMaster · Sep 20, 2014

Hello everyone I am going to build a PC soon and I'm still not sure which case to pick. I was looking at NZXT Phantom 410 and it is my favourite one so far. However it doesn't have a big window on the side which I would like to have. So can you guys recommend any case for $100 (£70) or cheaper with a big side panel window?

Thank you so much I absolutely love this case I didn't find it before suprisingly. I will buy this case now I'm 100% sure!!!

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 23, 2014

Great case , it's the best I've built with.

JackNaylorPE · Sep 23, 2014

PolanaMaster :

I got the Enthoo Primo on pre-order and is the best case I have ever built with...I think Phanteks shoulda waited till 2015 to release the Enthoo Luxe as that one looks to be the big favorite.

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 23, 2014

Phanteks cases are first rate , hard to believe right out of the gate all winners.

JackNaylorPE · Sep 23, 2014

And the come with .....

WI , WIN , WIN...LOL

JackNaylorPE · Sep 23, 2014

Support is great too.... Brian from Phanteks hangs out on OCN "Enthoo Owners Club" thread.

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 23, 2014

I have 2 of the PH-TC14PE coolers and they are also first rate easy to install.

JackNaylorPE · Sep 23, 2014

Agreed.... Great cooling, easiest installation I have ever done ... (well except for EK CPU water blocks). After 3 broken MoBos from users self installing Hyper 212's ... and with the PH-TC14-PE hitting $60 now and then, and great aesthetics, hard from to go any other way .... looking forward to doing a white PH-TC14-PE in a white Enthoo Luxe....

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 23, 2014

That will be a sweet combo , post pics when it's done.

CRYORIG R1 Ultimate
Even easier to install than the Phanteks ^

JackNaylorPE · Sep 23, 2014

Yeah......I saw when you 1st posted on the Cryorig. Have to wait for next "air" build. Looks like next 3 builds here will all be WC'd, 2 custom and one AIO .... H220-X makes it hard not to. Had one in planning .... H220-X and 360 rad w/ two Asus Posiedon 780's ... then the 980 rumors started sounding real and was out on hold ..... now the budget went to hell ... kid had car accident .... needs $1500 for repairs.

He wants to go around Xmas now but waiting for the **990** or whatever MSi is building the next Lightning on.

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 23, 2014

Looks like you have some work ahead of you.How is that H220-X ?

JackNaylorPE · Sep 23, 2014

Well now everyone wants a lappie .... so just helping kids pick specs for "kolludge" ... and setting them up etc.

The custom WC builds usually take ma 4-6 weeks. The H220-X I'm looking to do (build, tweak, install programs, OC) in a weekend .... prolly be done between the turkey slaughters (Danksgivin' and Xmas)

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 23, 2014

Sounds great , good projects ahead.

JackNaylorPE · Sep 23, 2014

The MSI Lightning story has me drooling about what was NOT released on the 19th.

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 23, 2014

I'm sure it will be a sweet release.

JackNaylorPE · Sep 23, 2014

Remember when all the pundits were suggesting that the 680 we saw was originally planned to be the 670 .... same rumors swirled around the 7xx series. I think this is the "new game" .... have several sku prototypes ready to go, release the 2nd or 3rd from the top .... and keep 1 or 2 designs on the shelf ready to pop after the other guy(s) show their hand.
