[SOLVED] Is there a good quality ATX Mid-tower case with an external 5 1/4" drive slot available now?

[Rick_S]

I've had Corsair cases in the past, but I haven't upgraded cases in a while. There are several newer brands that have less expensive ones, but telling their quality is really hard from reviews. $I could go to $100, including shipping, but that's stretching it. Full ATX MB, with a standard-sized graphics card. My current case is 7 3/4 inches wide, and about 20" high.

Thank you for your advice.

This one I believe would work for you, and keeps it well within your budget.

Cases are a personal thing; buy one that looks good to you.
The cm HAF XB evo is easy to work with and has several front bays.

The Enthoo Pro or the Enthoo Pro M if you can find that one. Not many to none these days, but yeah Fractal still has some nice looking ones, The Corsair 540 Airflow is nice but at $149.00 for an older case is just too much in my book. The Enthoo Pro is $97.00 right now @ https://www.newegg.com/Black-Phanteks-Enthoo-Pro-ATX-Full-Tower/p/11-854-004

Thank you all for your recommendations! They helped me focus on what I really wanted. I wound up purchasing a Be Quiet Pure Base 600 fron NewEgg.

That Be Quiet is a nice choice, but imo is lacking in front airflow and have to remove the top panel for top exhaust, but the Phanteks Enthoo pro has good air flow front and top, but it is a big case though, I wish the Enthoo Pro M was still available, but the Be Quiet is a good price, all that matters is that your happy with your choice, Enjoy!
