Hello !
I have 50-70$ to spend in a pc case and I need to upgrade my old 450x18x400 case (in millimeters) because of a space problem

I'd prefer having a sober case, not the flashy kind
( that's the reason why I removed the awesome Z11+ of my list, with regrets :/ )
It MUST have a 5,25" bay for DVD/BlueRay drive
A window would be a plus but that's not a problem if there's not, same thing for LED coolers
I prefer when the hard drive bays are tool-less and in front of you when you open the box exactly like this:

I don't have any SSD so I don't care if there is a SSD bay or not
And finally I need a good building quality : I'm thinking about 15$ cases twisting a bit when you try to screw a hard drive or something

I was thinking about :
- Pure Base 600 Black (for noise cancellation, it's the best among the 2 others but it's priced 75$)
- Masterbox 5 Black (the 5,25" bay version)
- Masterbox MB600L (not really because of it's lack of space against the others)

I don't really like the Corsair Cases for design, location of buttons and little sizes, but that's personnal

Please give me some advices, your experiences if you ever had these cases or even new suggestions :D

You have pictured a FD R4 why do you need more room it should hold about anything.
The Zalman Z1 is bigger than the case you have.
Dimensions 260(W) x 498(H) x 525(D)mm
If your just looking for a smaller case you need to list the parts your going to use.

I need a bigger case, because of having 3 hard drives, no cable management (so actually i have cables everywhere), a big version of a GTX1050ti which takes so much space, and a DVD drive
My actual case is taken from a old Acer, psu is placed at the top of the case and my cpu ventirad is in the middle of the cables

As you can imagine changing anything in my PC means take off all cables and put them back when you have finished
That's HORRIBLE

What is a "FD R4" ? The picture is not mine, I found it on a website
