Question Best case for $30-$40

[jeffreyzhou3]

Hey everyone
I'm building a PC with the ryzen 3400g thats gonna be used as a family PC and I need a case that is around $30-$40 since it doesn't have to be top end
It's using a b350 tomahawk motherboard so the case should be atx mid. (no itx or micro atx)

I found some here but I don't know if they are any good or not so i need your opinion

They are fine for the cost. The DIY-BG01 is probably the best of the three.
This is nice for the price too.
I built with this one recently. Big and roomy. At the top end of your price range.

That's also a good case for the price. Similar to the one I have except for the lack of exposed drive bays. I was surprised how large and heavy the one I have was for it being a mid tower ATX. I don't know, maybe that's an "Aero" thing.

I have used both Rosewill and DIY PC cases in ultra budget builds. Personally found the Rosewill to be a of better overall quality. The DIY cases I have used were really flimsy, however I feel they looked better on completion. Once they are built and together I didn't find issue with any of them. Wire management may or may not be possible with any of those selections...I found it to be pretty poor in both brands with the cases I have used. TBH though, the builds didn't have much need of it. I will warn that in both brands I found there to be many sharp edges and cutting/hurting yourself was very possible with both.

I selected a cheapo Thermaltake case from a local Micro Center on my last budget build and was super impressed with it's quality, wire management, and lack of sharp edges. It was $40 and (were it available) would buy it again.

My Aero case is still sitting in the box. I had an older FX build in it for awhile, but I like the case so well (for the cost) that I decided to save it for my next "good" PC build.
The only problem with that $40 price from Newegg, is that they tack on another $18 for shipping. Even for us Premier members. Add my state tax and the cost came to $62. Hardly a bargain after that.

My Corsair 100R mid-tower seems simple, plain black, has a window (for those that can't live with seeing some glow bling), has two front 5.25" bays, and is only $48 on Amazon...

My friend has a diypc case and it feels really cheap too...

I like cases with windows


I ended up getting this Matrexx 55 case from newegg for $44, its got a psu shroud, good cable managment and front and side tempered glass which was a awfully good deal

Good choice. What color did you get, white or black?
