Well, they're both excellent cases in their respective price ranges. The Enthoo is more of a lightweight no-frills model and the Suppressor is a heavy-duty, bells-and-whistles sort of beast (and also a 'silent,' noise-cancelling case.)
I think if I could afford either one and had to choose on other criteria, one of the major things I'd look at is the placement of the front ports and 5.25" bay and where the PC would be in relation to me when it's in use.
The ports on the Enthoo are positioned along the lefthand side of the case, so they might be very convenient to access if it's going to be sitting to your right on your desk, but less so if it will be on the floor or to your left. The 5.25" bay is in the middle of the front panel, not hidden behind anything.
The ports on the Suppressor are in a more traditional spot, front and center at the top of the case, where they'd be easier to access if it's sitting on the floor or to your left than the ports on the Enthoo. But its 5.25" bay is behind a hinged front panel, making it more easily accessible if the PC is on your right.

You might want to look into other cases, if you want a cheap one the Zalman Z1 NEO is a good option, although cable management and airflow is really bad, and it's extremely hard to get a large graphics card in there.
On the higher end is the CM Storm Trooper, it's more expensive but has just about everything you need and is probably one of the best cases there is. The price is normally 180$ but I'm actually selling my used one for 95 plus shipping so that might be an option for you.

Thanks for the answers. The case would be under my desk.
The CM Storm Trooper case is a beast. Looks awesome, has a really great airflow but its out of my budget. Those 2 cases I mentioned in the title are just fit my budget (normally, the Thermaltake would be out of it but I can buy it way cheaper thats why I've looked into it). But if you can recommend any good cases under €100 with at least one 5,25" slot and good airflow, that would be great.

Where do you live? If you're close to where the case is shipping from(Philadelphia) then I would be able to lower the price so that the total is under 100$.
However, another option is the Cooler Master HAF 912, it has everything you're looking for, but doesn't have any extras like windows or LEDs.

smilod0n :
Sadly, I don't live in the USA and I don't think you would ship that case to Hungary
You're a few months too late, I drove through Hungary and could have stopped to ship the case
I could ship it to an international service in the US but then you'd have to pay a lot of extra shipping costs which would probably be way out of your budget. Did you already try all the tech stores near you? They might not have exactly what you want but it would definitely be cheaper than ordering online.
