I'm building a new system and am looking for a case under $60 i really don't want to go over $60. Here are my parts:
CPU: i5 3570k
GPU: Sapphire Radeon 7850 2GB
RAM: G.Skill 4 GB Ripjaws 1600
PSU: OCZ ZS 550W
HDD: 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM
CD/DVD: Samsung 22x Burner
Mobo: ASRock Z77 Pro4
I'm currently looking at the Zalman Z11 Plus HF1 for $58 or the Antec 302 for $53 which case is better, are there any other cases that are better in this price range? I'm looking for maximum cooling but good looks, looks are not necessary but is preffered. (I like red/blue LEDs) Thanks for your help!

I don think you will find much with usb3 for less than 60. Newegg has 10 or so to choose from.

I have built 100s of pcs and used all types of casses. In reality if you are gentile with it and you treat it like a computer and not as a bench or a step stool a thin light case will be fine.

i have this one, has 2 usb 3.0 ports on front. it is a nice sturdy case as far as i can tell.
it might be worth mentioning i have the one without the blue leds, but it is the same case with different fans

Your really not going to get a good case that's worth buying with leds at that price point sorry it's just not possible but if your willing to spend a little more it's well worth it and you'll not regret it in the long run like you will if you buy one of those cheapo poorly made cases it really sucks i know but anyway here are some suggestions good luck!

LEDs are not a requirement just think they look wicked and what about this : http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml... or this : http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml... are those two good? And please don't recommend anything over $60 I am already over budget.

Sorry but I am not willing to spend over $60 and what makes say a Storm Enforcer better than an Antec Three Hundred Two? Also the Antec Three Hundred Two usually sells for around $70 so does the Zalamn Z11 Plus abd I just don't see what is so much better, maybe if you can convince me I will consider it.

there's absolutely nothing wrong with a HAF 912 or a Three Hundred Two. Check out what the Toms Hardware $500 builds use for a case, that'll probably give you some options. don't get pushed into going over budget. There are plenty of cases for less than $60 that will do you just fine. Heck, there are cases that will do for $40 or even less. One thing to consider is that even the thin, flimsy cases actually get stronger as you screw stuff into it. basically the components become stressed members inside the case. This may not sound like a good thing, but like the other poster said, as long as you don't sit on it, you won't really have a problem. Just make sure the airflow is ok.
that rosewill one actually looks like a good choice.

Ever check out the Corsair 300R?
Otherwise, the CM storm case suggested earlier is a really good one.
Airflow, included fans, ease of use, durability are all things to consider when buying a case.
Newegg has video previews available for most computer cases. Maybe check some of those out and get a better idea of what will work for you and why.

Thanks so much for your help everyone, I treat my computer really well and dont let it fall or hit it or anything like that. I'm now leaning towards a Rosewill Challenger but I still just want to know if it is worth getting it over the Antec 302/ Z11 plus because the promo code ends tomorrow and I am planning to buy in a week or so.
