Need a new PC case, Ideally Mid-Tower. I have a ATX Mobo and a normal ATX motherboard. Looking to spend all in no more than 65$ including shipping/tax, so around $60 base price. Any suggestions, or cases not to buy. I also have a 240mm liquid cpu cooler that needs to fit on the top of the case (Corsair H100i). Thanks.

Sorry, but the lowest I'm willing to go on an ATX case recommendation is the Enthoo Pro M. Last week I could meet ya budget, this week I miss by $7. For an extra $1, you can get it in military green

But, what would ya say if ya could

Spend $20 less .... Get 2C better CPU temps ... and reduce noise by a factor of 12 ? See 17:12 mark and look at the NH-D15 versus the H100i.

If ya want something w/ water that beats both the Noc and the H100i, cooling wise and 1/6th as loud as the vacuum cleaner sounding H100i, H100i ya gonna spend about $35 more.... test results are in the video. It also doesn't use an aluminum rad like the H100i so it doesn't need extreme rpm fans ... and you can add a water cooled GFX card to the system if you so choose. Looks alot better too :)

The H240 X is $10 more and it's 140mm wide and it will also fit in the Pro M.
