I am near deciding my first custom built rig! Of course, the case has been most arduous decision really... so... I need some input.
Budget: Willing to spend 100 dollars, give 10 or 20 if abosloutely necessary, lower the better. Just don't want to sacrifice too much quality.
Case Goals:
1.) Cooling, (not going to OC a lot, but will some. Just want it cool as ice) good circulation.
2.) Design: Just want STABLE and RELIABLE. Want this to last a while. PSU I am replacing anyways, so no need worry about a good PSU coming with case.
3.) Layout to be easy, (enough for first time builder, not complete n00b at building, replaced parts on old rig and stuff plenty but this first full on custom build from scratch) large enough, fans and wires to be good (psu will replace, dont want to fans really or wires...) just want a great layout for the parts going in.
And yeah. Here are some cases I've been looking at and seen good reviews from forums:
Cooler Master Centurion RC-531 99 dollars. No reviews on newegg... so like some here if possible =) (pertaining to my goals and everything)
or cheaper:
XION Black XION II XON-103 nice 60 dollar price. Input on this one?
Or any others within price range and all goals =)
