What is the best Cooler Master case under 110€?There are so many good cases around 80 - 100 so it's hard to know
Cheers!
Hi Bofink,
Are you building a new PC? If so, then I would recommend getting a cheaper Case and spending more on components like Graphics Card, CPU, etc.
You can get a cheap yet decent Gaming Case from BitFenix. The case mentioned below has received many recommendations from various sites and is an unbeatable product for such a low price---
BitFenix Merc Alpha Mid Tower---$40---
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Here is the official site with specifications, gallery and reviews---
http://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/chassis/merc...
This Case has enough space, allows 7 additional fans, has Power Supply placement at bottom and has an elegant look too.
A review of this Case (There are lots of reviews on the internet about this Gaming Cabinet)---

Until they change their ways, I cannot recommend ANY CM case. The company is dishonest, plans further dishonesty, and does not deserve your business.
This was discovered in competent technical reviews of unrelated products (in this case, many of their PSUs). Many companies exaggerate, or offer best-case scenarios that are unrealistic at best, but claiming protection circuits that are in fact missing is an outright lie. Here are some sample links:
LL=Liar Label, MC=Missing Circuits
1. LL: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/art [...] ew/1550/11
2. MC: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/art [...] iew/1184/9
3. LL AND MC: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/art [...] iew/1005/9
4. LL: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/art [...] iew/1034/9
5. LL: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/art [...] view/969/9
...I think that's enough. These aren't dings for poor quality, but for dishonesty. Many others get dinged for quality; my favorite is probably the remark in HardOCP's review of the GX-650 calling it a "polished turd in a box."
So anyway, there you have it; a company which should not be supported, regardless of the quality of its other products (including cases). And get this, it gets worse. Having been called on it, they're going to pull them from the North American market and foist them off elsewhere. This per Gabriel Torres: "I had a meeting with them during Computex and, according to them, they are removing all power supplies with fake wattage from the North American market (and dumping them somewhere else)."
You're buying in euros; does this mean you're the next target market for more dishonestly labeled products?
In any case, I would recommend Antec or Lian Li for quality cases.

A rational individual does not support dishonesty. I don't care if their cases are made of mithril, this isn't about quality, but about dishonesty.

i see you every now and then trolling insulting cooler master,why? are you paid to do so?
EDIT: Cooler master is one of the best case manufacturer,it has high quality cases in almost every category.from $50 haf 912 to $150 storm trooper to dream case like $350 Cosmos II.

i've seen that message before, (word for word too) and i will agree, for their size you would expect em to pipe out better quality.
but my CM case feels very well built, my previous case (it was OEM) felt like it would fold in half, even with my motherboard installed.
my 690 II feels like a case i could drop off my table and it would still be okay

I wasn't going to comment about my personal experience with their cases (I used to buy them), because the sample size is too small to be relevant; but almost ever CM case I ever bought (including an original RC-690) had minor, mostly fixable quality issues including untapped screw holes, worthless tool-free mounts, and panel misalignment. I got tired of it, and switched to Rosewill. I have had NONE of those problems. Maybe I've just been unlucky, as I realize many people like their cases; like I said though, quality is not the issue, corporate dishonesty is.
Yes, I do repeat myself, and will continue to do so. I also insult Apevia, Logisys, Diablotek, and other companies that LIE about their products. A rational individual does not support dishonesty. If you disagree with that, you must think it is ok for people to lie to you. I'm sorry.

Best solution
Rosewill is Newegg's house brand. Since you posted in Euros, I did not think you would be able to order from them. If you can, it looks like 110 Euros would be about $137. For $90, this Blackhawk is loaded with features: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
I would have bought one for my last build, except that I got an Enermax Hoplite for less on Ebay; it has many of the same features, like the external dock I wanted.
Antec and Lian Li may be available to you in Greece, and they are good too. Antec is sturdier but heavier; Lian Li has impeccable fit and finish.
