If your on a budget, then none of the $100 plus cases above will work for you. Try searching on newegg.com and read the reviews, they have hundreds of cases there. I bought a raidmax and its working just fine for me.

I agree with Ghost - RaidMax Scorpio is a good budget case - about $55 these days although I've seen it for a few bucks less. It'll take up to 7 fans.
Please provide us with more requirements and we can go from there.

How about one of these
Codegen AIR case ($49.99 USD), one of our members recently bought one... they appear to have excellent airflow possibilities r/t mesh construction...

And for only
$69.99 USD, you can have it powered by a Codegen 400w PSU @

all of my cases are Raidmax cases. even my high end systems are Raidmax Scorpio's, but I switched out the PSU's in them. I don't suggest using the stock PSU in the Raidmax's in a high end system. As far as budget cases go though you can't hardly beat the Raidmax Scorpio or Cobra cases.

Yeah I suppose an aluminium construction w/ a side window, tool free design, and illumination is kinda' tricked looking


I'm not much for these extreme gamer cases, some are way too radical

(though I don't mind the
Xaser series

)
I guess it's a personal preference thing eh?

I like the Coolermaster Stacker. That looks like a really good case. I plan on buying one soon.

i used to have a raidmax case. it was just too heavy and the fan holes were not very good. just stamped steel. lol I only get aluminum now just cuz its so much lighter, but yea it costs more. its just a matter of weather u think its worth the cost. some ppl dont mind the extra weight of steel cases, and like the extra durability (although aluminum is durable too). The way i look at it, is all the power to them. lol Good luck choosing a case ! B)

Very nice case, one that is on my own shopping list, but at $160-190 w/o power supply, its definitely not a budget case.

If money is an issue you could go for a Lian li PC-7 case.. theyre lian li's budget case but still very nice.
