I'm looking to do a build, and I've put together one that I'm marginally happy with except for the case. After some later research, I came to the conclusion that the case I picked might not have the most room in terms of upgradeability, so I have come back to the Linus Tech Tips forums for assistance.
This is what I'm looking for in a case:
-Upgradeability - able to fit at least a 120mm AIO cooler to start (looking to do maybe more in the future)
-Good air flow with air filters
-Decent cable management
-Under $75 CAD with maybe $10 tolerance.
Windows are optional. This is the build I have currently. Prices DO include tax.
