Which case should I get?

FineVisionz

I am looking at buying a full tower case,  I want something that has good air flow, good cable management, and the availability to have large GFX cards.  I want a case that doesn't empty out my wallet, so I am looking to spend $120, maybe more if it is worth it.

 

 

Thanks,

-Fine

Not a bad case, a bit plain though.

The Corsair 450D is a very nice case to build in. It's got a full side panel window and no screw HDD installation. There are no large hard drive bays blocking large graphics cards from fitting in the case.

Edit: Sorry it's a mid-tower case but unless you 100% need a full-tower case, I'd recommend this case.

Air 540. While it's not technically a full tower case, it's got all the room in the world and great airflow. And it doesn't break the bank. Excellent cable management, and it doesnt look plain at all. If you can find a graphics card that doesn't fit....your...insane

129.00 before shipping on Newegg.

 

Edit: It is a full ATX case. Just not a full tower since its shorter and wider than a full tower.

It's excellent. You don't need to tie wires down or anything, just run all of em, then pull all the excess back to the other side of the motherboard wall and just bundle em up.

My desk would have been to small for a cube case, so I am in planning for a desk right now. I already know where I can get the glass and the wood for the desk. Just the time to do that isn't there :D

It's honestly not that much bigger of a footprint than a tower. It's about the width of my fist wider than a normal tower. It is a nice case though.

the corsair air 540 is great for that budget however if you want a full tower for cheap my case is great value but its a bit more expensive than your bydget the nzxt switch 810.
