Looking for a PC case for my first build. Confused by all the options and warnings about bad cases. I would appreciate some suggestions.
I'm interested mainly in mid-towers (although I might consider a full-tower if there was a good reason). I will have an ATX mobo, one graphics card (don't know which one yet), a PCI NIC, a DVD drive, a 2.5 SDD, and at least one 3.5 standard HD (might add another later). I'm not planning on OCing. I think most people would consider this a "standard build".
It should be relatively quiet. I will keep it in my bedroom and I might leave it on while I'm asleep. No bright LEDs (such as big LED fans). However, I would like a small power-on light and maybe a light to tell me the HD is working.
It should have front USB ports and audio jacks. USB 3.0 ports would be great (although I know they might be hard to find at this price point).
I would prefer a simple color (black, white). I would also prefer it doesn't have a clear window. However, this is not necessarily a deal-breaker if it's a really good case (especially if the window is small).
I'm getting an 2.5 SSD, so it would be great if it already had a 2.5 bay and I didn't have to buy a mounting kit. A tool-less design would also be great.
I would like to spend under $70 after rebates (although good suggestions a few dollars over are also appreciated). Thanks.
