Looking to buy a nice case!

Looking to buy a really good case for around $100. Wantin to get some mesh filters or whatever they're called that stops dust coming entering.

these are two cases i'm looking at. would like a opinion from someone who knows a tad bit about this!

thank you

i agree with you on that 500r looking more grown up, and less mexican looking lol...

will the water cooling holes collect any dust? so you think that i should get that case? or i could find one for around exactly 100 bucks, i just order 27 inch monitor and they're sending me a 25$ gift card so i can't spend the extra 20, only 100!

anything newer or better than that one?

Both are decent cases but personally I prefer the look of the 500r, it just seems more grown up

W/c grommets don't usually collect dustbunnies no, you can always find something to block them up with if you wished though,
And I'm not up on the latest cases sorry, trawling through retailers websites is your job hehe,
but Corsair, Nzxt and Coolermaster make solid cases, just try to avoid anything too cheap as you get what you pay for up to a pricepoint,

The 500r is a solid choice and well worth the money, however the 400r is $99 so right in your budget.

And as far as dust bunnies are concerned just make sure you always have positive filtered air pressure in your case and this will stop them burrowing into your case..
You do this by having more intake fans than exhaust and as all intake fans on the 400 and 500r are filtered youre good to go.

whats the difference between the 400 and 500??

400 is going to cost 110 for shipping, and the 500r is 115 with free shipping

so i guess i'm going to have to wait for my gift card and pickup the 500r unless i find one like it for 100 bucks flat

thanks for the help guys!

anyone know of any other cases that could be just as good for around 70-80 ? if not i guess i'll buy the 500r since it's such a nice case!
