Good cheap ATX Case

[gabcal98]

I'm building a gaming computer, and I want to know what would be a good case for about $50 dollars or less. This probably isn't possible, but I want one that looks nice and has some cable routing.

I know this is a good community and have some good answers.

Thanks for the help.

At exactly $50 the NZXT Source 220 is pretty nice with front mounted USB 3.0 and decent cable management.

If you could stretch the budget to $60, the Corsair 200R is very nice

However, you should not save on the case. You are going to get this thing once and have it for the next 30 years, so you should get the best one. In my opinion, this is the current best choice:

Nice cases except I would hope we have moved past the need for Full Tower ATX cases in 30 years .

Even today, a micro ATX case is sufficient for most budget rigs.

I reflected on this already, and I find that getting a micro-atx tower instead of a atx tower is not a goot idea. the diference is like 5cm and you get twice the expansion slots. Visually feels like the same.

I do own a micro-atx case, but on a htpc format:

I only recomend building a micro-atx system in order to use with your home theater, and you want this visual

I also believe we dont need full towers for everyday computing. I have a tower, pictured on my avatar, that is my gaming system, but my main computer is a MacMini. Its the size of your palm and lighter then a videocard

I like the BitFenix Merc Alpha alot, but would an Apevia X-Plorer 2 be good too?

I think going that low on case will come back to bite me in the ass with cable management, this is the one I'm looking at Cooler Master Storm Scout 2 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
