Looking for a super cheap way out. Again.

Hello everyone, I’m looking for a super cheap way to get a micro atx pc case that’s rgb. Price range of about $35-$40. What’s the best deal?

Buy a cheap aliexpress testbench and a cheap RGB strip, job done!

Not really a case tho but hey cardboard can get you there.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Why does it need to be RGB?

Corsair 88R (not RGB)

 

Additionally if you're going for a RX 570 I would highly recommend getting the 99$ one on Amazon. About 105$ to the US with a DVI-D cable, or 130-140€ to Europe with a DVI-D cable. Expect delivery to take 4-5 days with AmazonGlobal Priority (w/ customs. If your item gets inspected by customs, this will likely extend to 10-14 days). UEFI only, equivalent to GTX 1060, and about 180W (8pin power)

RGB is cool that’s why, I’ve narrowed my graphics cards down to Radeon R9 Fury, 1050TI, 1060, or RX580. But right now I’m focusing on an RGB case.

Dude the case with pre installed RGB including fans are expensive and do not come under ur budget (35 -40 $) So best way is to buy a decent case and use rgb strips.

Edit : Case with side panels.

Ok I guess that makes sense. ? Oh well, that’s what it'll have to be.

I just looked up that RX570. Yeah, that’s a pretty sweet deal. Don’t have the money at the moment but if it’s still available in like 2 weeks I’ll probably order it.  But I just have one question, let’s say I have a guy that’s willing to give me an R9 Fury for 100 bucks, but it’s used. Is it worth it to get that or should I get the RX570 on Amazon instead?

R9 Fury is slightly better but 570 is new and has a warranty (tho only 6 months)

Ok guys, after hours of looking, I can’t find a decent looking case that has a side window on it. Maybe it’s just me, but does a $30 case with a side window exist? I mean, come on?

Worth mentioning that the R9 Fury is a 275 watt card, and the RX 570 is 120 watts. That's a huge difference, and a cheap power supply is going to have a very hard time with the Fury.

Just get a shoes box from your local trash dumpster, attach some RGB strips to it and call it a day. 

 

Meanwhile, here's an obligatory F for the components that you want to massacre.
 

/s

 

Everything comes money. If you want a case that comes with window side panel and pre-installed RGB, you will get them at the expense of build quality, cable management and features. It's a great way to waste your money on useless things.

Be careful, you get what you pay for.
