Hey guys,

I'm having a hard time finding a budget case for under 60e(≈74$). As I live in Serbia, prices are a bit higher here, than in US or other parts of Europe.
I have found some cases. What would you suggest to pick out of these or if it's not too much to ask, suggest other cases around 60e. I'm looking for a simply designed case, no glass panel, no drives on front end, cause i won't be using optical drives.

Cases are about 10% compatibility/airflow, 90% personal preference (IMO anyway).

While some 'cheap' options are a bit poorer in build quality/ease of building in, generally speaking, they're functional.

The cases you linked are all solid quality, with mesh and either 1-2 included fans, so wouldn't be "bad" choices by any means.
I like the N400 moreso than the others, but I prefer more compact rigs.

As for money on the case.... it's a matter of opinion.
To me, either buy something fit for purpose now, without breaking the bank OR spend a good bit more, with the intention of reusing the case for a build or two down the line.

60EUR (or so) wouldn't be the kind of money I'd look to invest in a case that could be reused in...

The vast majority of 'decent' cases are trying to incorporate windowed side-panels.... and a lot of the 'budget' offerings retain 5.25" bays (older tooled designs, I would suspect).

Mesh front panels and a couple of included fans would be a great starting point - although that doesn't guarantee 'good' airflow.

Taking a look through the site you linked, the LC Power Gaming 984B looks like it should provide some pretty good airflow with it's mesh front & top panels - for ~35EUR. Probably worth considering too.

I will take this one under consideration as it looks simple enough and it has mesh on front and top. Plus its cheap.
Do you think i should invest more money in the case? Also, what about those cases i mentioned?

60EUR (or so) wouldn't be the kind of money I'd look to invest in a case that could be reused in future......I'd look more to the 100-150EUR mark for that.

So, something 'fit for purpose' now, could be the 35EUR option, or something in the 50-60EUR range.
