Looking for new case

Howdy guys. Not sure if you remember me from the previous two RTW's but here I am!


Anywho, Im in the market for a new computer case and need your help. I dont know much about cases as Ive only owned one. Could you guys make some suggestions for cases with: good air flow, cable management, and be about $70. Also, I would like it to have a see through side.

You can't get better than a CM 690 II basic/advance at that price.

The advanced is $80 the Basic is $70. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend these cases.

get the nzxt m59 on newegg right now, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146058&Tpk=nzxt%20m59

comes with the most fans for that money, great cable management. You really can't beat that

well good airflow and cable management is one thing but what else are you doing with the case? Do you wanna take it to lan parties and be very portable? what size is your motherboard; so we know how big the case should be, mid tower, full, micro, etc. :)

I have no idea how much is it at in usa, but it is one of the cheapest and smoothest ones I know of:

Coolermaster storm scout.


Or as patho said, CM 690II.


Or Fractal R3

Fractal R3's are way over $70


I have a scout and personally its an awesome case just too damn cramped if I had to buy again it would be the 690II

or you can also get the Lian Li Lan cool http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112238&cm_re=lancool-_-11-112-238-_-Product


On sale for $70

Ah sorry about that. My mobo is the [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128416]Gigabyte 790xta-ud4[/url], which is ATX (is that what youre looking for?).

Yea a mid tower, Anything smaller is too small, Anything bigger (full tower) is more expensive. Like I previously stated I HIGHLY recommend the CM 690 II

My vote goes to CM 690II.

I'd like to add the difference between the basic and the advanced are the following


- External Sata slot (amazing feature)

- Internal GPU holder

- SSD bracket

- Comes with more fans

- Advanced is completely tooless


The difference is only 10 bucks.

if you wanna save money get the nzxt, If you want to spend a little more you should really look at the lancool, the features are unbelievable

Thanks for the tips guys. I ended up getting the NZXT M59 and also that sweet deal on the GTX 460!
