Your PC build?

Here are two popular, well-reviewed cases at that price-point. They're pretty good all-around cases as far as quality, ease-of-build, and compatibility.

You'd need to give us more details about your build (motherboard, graphics card, power supply, etc) to get a tailored answer.

Check this one out and see if you like it. It comes in under your budget and offers a TON of features usually only found on more expensive cases. It even comes with 2/3 fans preinstalled, a fan controller, and temperature sensor that you can place where ever you want. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zalman-Tower-M-ATX-Tuning-Compatibility/dp/B0084GVWZO


PS: If you don't like this particular case check out the rest of Zalmans lineup. They are all feature packed and great cases for the price.

BitFenix Shinobi comes to my mind for mid range PCs.
Corsair 300R is a bit bigger and has more space for gaming rigs.
Fractal Design Define R4 is a bit over budget but excellent for gaming and high-end systems.

I like the look of that, would that fit my needs. like few hard drives SSD?

 

[MeteorsRaining]

300R, Shinobi or any good Mid Tower in general will accommodate those.

Must be so

 

[NewBorn92]

ok i am getting Corsair Carbide 300R Case with Window

 

[MeteorsRaining]

Good choice

 

[NewBorn92]

I have 2 new 4TB hard drives coming, and new SSD card... so Maybe I can fit all those in. plus one old 500 GB from my old one haha.

 

[volcanoscout]

All of the cases suggested are pretty good and will accommodate your drives, but I think you'll be pleased with the 300R. If you care to expand your budget a little, as MeteorsRaining mentioned, the Fractal Design Define R4 is an excellent case. I've got one myself and think it's pretty outstanding.

^Exactly, I couldn't myself have described it better.

 

[NewBorn92]

only issue is, I have never did a full case swap before... so its new to me ;p

 

[MeteorsRaining]

Then if you're swapping for the first time, why not get the best (for price) in the market?

I pretty much went over my budget getting the 300R CASE lol not explained my system but I have two new WD BLACK 4TB on the way, plus 240 SSD.

 

[MeteorsRaining]

I'm not saying 300R is bad, its awesome case for its price, I'd buy one any day. But, if your plan is to upgrade in future, then R4 is generally the best case around, starting just above the the upper limit of your budget!
I mean R4 is used in both 600$ rigs and 1600$ rigs, so it is a pretty much versatile case, only if your budget allows

I think for my needs, the case is fine, has enough hard drives etc ;p but case is pretty good though, I have already bought the case before R4 was mentioned lol
