Best value case for $120 shipped

[jrhilsch]

I'm wondering what you guys think the best value case for under $120 is.

I'm looking for a quality case with quality cooling. I've been looking at Lian-Li, but I've heard about some space issues with gtx 260's.

I'm up for ANY options you guys have.

Thanks ahead of time!

CoolerMaster 690 $74.99 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119137

Great case, personally I love it. I want it. But i can't afford it lol. Great airflow also, I think the price with shipping like from 100 to 115.

I have a hard time buying the rc-690 being that it was $25 cheaper yesterday... I know everyone and their mom recommends this case, but personally, I think it looks a little cheap







Don't hurt me!!

It doesn't feel cheap! The quality is exceptional, I have touched and felt this case before.

I have a cm 690 its great bang for the buck. Cooling is good and plenty of space for most builds. The only part of it that feels a little cheap is the front panel. It doesn't look cheap but it snaps in place with plastic barbs so every time you take it off it feels like you are breaking it. You're not but it feels that way.

My only complaint with the case is that the top panel is bitch to get off and the left side fan (which comes with the case) is louder than it should be at full speed. The vent holes make it resonate in the case but this is easily fixed by turning it down a bit. But those are minimal complaints. I highly recommend getting it.

Isn't there a fan you can put by the mobo to cooler the bottom of the CPU?!? Or I am thinking about another case.?

 

[WinstonNotSmith]

On the CM 690, yes and its vented so it blows directly onto the bottom of the mobo

Antec 300 is the best bang for the bucks period... I got mine(for my wife) at a local store for $45 and added 2 coolermaster 120mm front intake fans for $10. But I have CM 690 & COSMOS S. CM 690 should be at around $100 (including shipping and tax).

A Antec 300 can be heavily modded too, I've seen it. Also on here to, MonsterMawd has made a amazing mod to a Antec 300
