I am upgrading and I like the look of it, I have a thermaltake v3 and I hate it is has no easy way to mess with anything in it it isn't pretty. I want a new one with a side panel, some features and to make sure it is worth $50?

 

[bigcyco1]

where are you buying it from it is worth the 50.00 but i would say it's not worth 69.99 this is a good one as well Case:NZXT Apollo Black SECC Steel Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Will that do all these things

Does it have a quick swap hdd spot?
Can you access mobo w/o taking it out?*
Can it fit a h60?*
Can a ssd be easily installed*
cable managment etc. compared to z11?

* means necessary...Thank you so much for your response.

if you can get the z11 for 50 it's worth it if it cost 69.99 it's not worth it

HAF-912.

 

[2fast4thetown_down]

It is 70 dollars but what is the best 50 dollar case that does those things and has good airflow and a side panel?

 

[2fast4thetown_down]

HAF-912.

Has to be full tower and have window on side (left side)

I don't think you know what a "full tower" case is.

 

[2fast4thetown_down]

I have a full tower and I love it because it is not a mid...

Your not going to get a good full tower for less than 100 and you don't have a full tower thermaltake v3 is a mid tower

 

[2fast4thetown_down]

Oh the i am confused so a mid tower with a side panel window will be fine if it has good airflow, cable managment, and can fit a h60. I like the haf-912 but I dont know if it has a window.

it doesn't have a window

 

[amuffin]

it doesn't have a window

That would be the HAF-912 Advanced.

 

[unksol]

the H60 is a terrible choice for a cooler. a quality air cooler will do better, be cheaper, and probably be quieter

 

[amuffin]

Exactly^^

 

[2fast4thetown_down]

So if I get a Haf-912 advanced and a hyper 212 evo life is good?

 

[bigcyco1]

better coolers than H-60 for cheaper or same price

Is there any reason why you want a side window?

I doubt it's going to be on display.

[2fast4thetown_down]

i like to show it off to people and it would be nice to have it if it is too much I can pass because

performance > looks
