I have a rosewill fbm-01 case that I first bought for my build mainly because it was cheap. I'm thinking it's time for an upgrade. I have a micro ATX mobo im looking for a mid tower in the $50 to $60 dollar range. I'd also like it to have compatibility with a full size atx mobo any suggestions? I've looked at the Corsair 200R is this a decent case? Could you recommend a better one then this? thanks a ton!
 
Solution
Step 1. Find a Case that suits your aesthetic taste
Step 2. Google reviews on the case you chose and see if it has any problems

Step 3. Go to PC Part Picker, select the case there then add the PSU you are using, CPU Cooler, GFX cards etc to ensure they are compatible with the Case - if your parts are old, you may just need to get out the ruler and measure against the Case specifications.

I seriously doubt you will have any issues the 200R though - it'll take a full ATX, has 165mm clearance for the CPU Heatsink, can take a 14in GFX card and a 180mm PSU.

here's my build says it will work is there any other cases you recommend? thanks for the info though! :)
 


Hmm, can't really recommend any in that price range as I tend to go a bit OTT on my cases - I love my Aerocool Predator X3 Evil Black - but it's around USD105. - I have the Orange one - http://www.aerocool.com.tw/index.php/2013/08-august/36-case/pgs-b/129-xpredator-x3evil-black-information

I've had higher spec Antec's before - they are double insulated and suppress noise pretty well - you could try the P100 - http://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-case-p100 - its about USD60
