Good cheap pc case?

Ruppe · Dec 15, 2015

Hi. I'm looking for a good PC case to put my new components in. I'm honestly just overwhelmed by the options though, so I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations? I'm thinking about the nzxt s340, or fractal define r4. However the r4 is a little expensive... I don't want to go over $100. I'll probably be buying from eBay though so I should get it cheaper if it's $150-$175. I'm also not a huge fan of crazy looking cases. I like them simple (I don't mind color tho) I would really appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!

Not anywhere close to what I would consider a cheap case. If you can afford an NZXT S340, go for it. There are dozens of good choices in the $80-100 range.

It seems that the $60 Fractal Design Define S is the perfect choice for you:

PS. The modernized internal layout of the Define S omits the optical drive bays, instead focusing on a clear straight airflow path and uncompromising water cooling support.

Don't know if you can find this one in your area but this is my next pc case http://www.grosbill.com/4-aerocool_boitier_micro_atx_qs182_noir_-636827-informatique-boitier#datasheet_fiche_technique it's 335 x 355 x 170 mm. Sweet.

Cheap is different things to different people, but at $100, the Enthoo Pro (Case of the Year 2014) stands alone.

If ya need cheaper, the Pro M cuts some corers to come in at a lower price

I have a bit fenix £59 case but it has shot down to £30 now:

I have an i5 4460, MSI GTX 970 4GB, 2 front intake fans, 1 exhaust fan, ATX mobo, 8GB RAM, 500w PSU all in this case and its totally fine.

Goes to show you don't need to spend over £100 on a case really.

I've built on 3 fractals, think they are great. Used to have an antec P180, much more expensive, no where near as good.
