Hi. I'm looking for a nice, cheap case. Good ventilation is a must. It doesn't need a PSU nor any fans, I have both. Windows are fine. A max of $45. I'm looking at a Centurion from Cooler Master, but I think there are better cases out there. Mid-Tower is probably the only choice in my budget, but I can go mATX or Full-Tower. Open to suggestions and NewEgg is preferable. Thanks!

At 39.99 from directron, might do the job, seem to support 120mm exhaust fan, might do the job...

That Sunbeam looks really nice, I think I might've found the case!

I've come across a newer Centurion, the 534. It seems like a good case as well, and, with the rebate, is about $8 cheaper. How good is the cooling of the Sunbeam? I'm planning to remove all fans (from both cases) and replace them with some TT Blue LED ones, anyways...

What do you guys think:

Centurion 534

Sunbeam Zorro

How many fans can the new Centurion hold?

(3) 120mm fans. Comes with one blue LED one in the front. I believe that the fan holes are backwards-compatible, i.e. it can hold (3) 80mm fans..

You will be using 120mm fans on them anyways right???

I agree, the final choice should be determined by looks and if you want your PSU on top or bottom. Both look like about the best case you can get for $50 and I would purchase either.

If the budget is a concern, check out the COOLER MASTER Centurion RC-531-KKN1 it's the same guts, different face and should perform just as well. Best of all, only $40 shipping included from chiefvalue.com :D

Yeah. It's come down to aesthetics. I was scared of that, as the PC is for my dad's office and not me...The inverted case design intrigues me. I'm going to look for some more reviews of it to learn some more about it.

I originally chose the RC-531, but, from a completely aesthetically view, I prefer the 534. Those extra $10 I save, though, may change my mind.

Thanks again!
