I'm looking for a less than $80 case that has good airflow, decent cable management space for my new budget build that I plan to build before school starts. So far the Antec 300 is the only case that has caught my eyes. I was looking for you guys input on this, so I can get the best case with my money :]

I just returned a Antec 300 yestarday lol....
My Nvidia 9800GTX card wouldnt fit.

I'd recommend this for a case: Click Here

Tunia Case

Just remove the lame fan bar. The airflow is simple but effective. It's elegant as hell too.

A lot of people use this one for a cheap case. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. Cable management is pretty tough in cheap cases and they may not hold up as well as one you shell out good money for.

well, Im more worried about my temp's. As I am setting a budget of 900 on this build :]

e8400................$170
Ep35-ds3l...........$90
4Gb Ram Gskill...$80
500GB HDD........$80
CPU Cooler........$undecided, either Zerotherm Nirvana $50(-$10 RB) or ACF 7 $32
ATI 4850............$150-$200 Don't know which one to get ($10-30 Rebate)
520HX................$119($20 rebate)
Case..................$80-$90(rebates?)

Total : $880 with max amount of money, and after rebates it is about ~840$


i suppose this should be moved to system builds subforum

I'm using this case
Cooler Master 590

not bad

Swap the power supply for a PCP&C 610 - they're $80 after MIR. You might be able to afford an Antec 900 then...(~$120)

That PCP&C unit has better wattage rating, but at only 40C. The Corsair can deliver 520W at a much more realistic 50C and it's modular

The Armor+ in this list is WAY worth the extra $20!

How is the cable management on the Armor+. I already have a Antec 900 on my current case, and the wiring is :[

Heh...aren't the Silencer's and HX520 both Seasonics? I mean, really...

Only 40C...that's still a lot better than the ones rated at 25C.
