Hey folks,
I found a smoking deal on a Rosewill Magnetar case from NewEgg for $30. I can't find many reviews on it, but it has everything I need: optical drive bay, 3 fans, 2.5" SSD slot.
On the other hand, websites and word of mouth seem to recommend the Enthoo Pro, which is also on sale for $55 if I buy the acrylic glass mid tower version. I've continually heard that this is a great case, but how is it worth an extra $25?
I guess what I'm not understanding is what makes a 'cheap' case cheap. As long as a $30 case has ample space, sufficient airflow, and is sturdy, why should I consider something more expensive? I don't particularly care about aesthetics, liquid-cooling, etc. I won't be OC'ing or doing anything to cause extra heat. Is there a type of performance or concept that I don't know of?
