Looking for a good budget case replacement.

[Sacris82]

Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for your help and thoughts. So to make a long story short i recently fixed a lenovo thinkstation s20 that had a bad psu. Since the psu replacement the pc is now running like a champ but the only thing that's really bugging me is the case. The case has lots of scratches and dents all around it. So here's my question. Is there anyway i can replace the case with a custom one, and what should i look for if i can. If you guys know of a case that would be a good replacement please let me know. i'm in a bit of a budget so anything under $80 would be great. I should mention that i tried replacing the lenovo case with a Enermax Fulmo-Q ATX Mid Tower PC Computer Case that i bought from fry's electronics, but unfortunately the motherboard did not fit properly. Any information you guys may need from me feel free to ask. thanks everyone...

Performing a Google image search turned up info of your motherboard being E-ATX

in form factor which explains why your endeavor with a mid tower ATX case didn't go so well.

So your choice and possibly your budget will have to change. Nonetheless take a look through this short listing on Newegg. I'd choose the Phanteks Eclipse P400.

Newegg don't sell the Core 3500. The least expensive Core 3500 is from https://www.directron.com/fdcacore3500bl.html?aff=2

No matter, the Core 3300 supports E-ATX as well as per NZXT's product page.
