I put together a budget-oriented system (mATX), and am looking for a case that would accommodate it. My preferences are smaller, cooler, quieter, reasonable cost. I like having USB up top. Don't care about RGB, tend to like "sophisticated"/clean designs more. I like the TG window look, but not necessary.
Here's the system
I looked at cases, but am overwhelmed at the choices. I saw some like the fractal design meshify mini, be quiet pure base 500, lian li 205M (a Microcenter exclusive of the 205), fractal define mini C, etc. A wilder part of me wishes there was a mATX size of the Thermaltake Core P1/P3 series. I even thought about building a DIY case from an old guitar amp, but just don't have the time to devote to that project.
Thoughts on these, others? Advice?
