Hi there. here is my current build and this build will be put into a Thermaltake Versa N21 which isn't in the list because PCPP doesn't have it in their database. I've already gone over the specs and everything will fit in it and I found that it is a fairly well rated case for the price. However, I would like some other peoples opinions as to what would be also a good case that doesn't exceed the price of the Versa N21 which is $55 maybe $60 if it's a truly better upgrade. So does anyone have any ideas on a case that's better for that price or less? I of course won't have the CPU Cooler for long as it will eventually be replaced by a liquid cooling solution.
The specs of the case should be obvious but here they are:
--be big enough to house all of my components with a little wiggle room afterwards.
--still be pretty stylish and cool looking, especially when it lights up with LED's (so it must support such a thing with viewports and gratings/grills)
--have top rated airflow design for the price
--a really good cable management system
--be made of a well rated and reviewed material (it needs to be sturdy)
--sound suppression isn't too much of an issue as the only fans in the system will be on the PSU, on the back and on the radiator of my liquid cooling system when I'm finished upgrading over time. Also, I game with a headset so I won't even hear it to begin with.
--cost as much or less than my current choice.
