What is a good budget case that is under $100

[ForumSage]

Title says it all, this is partially for me but also for the people that ask Linus what is a good budget case.

300R easily mod a window if needed. Nice project to take on

My favorite budget cases are most of Fractal Designs lineup. They are of outstanding quality and have most of the standard features today (good airflow, top quality matierals, adequate cable routing, decent style, sideways loading removable HDD bays) and most of their cases are around $100 or under.

Some of my other favorite budget cases are Bitfenix Shinobi as well as the whole Corsair Carbide series. You really can't go wrong with a corsair for under 100 bucks. If the style suits you the HAF is also a very popular case for around $50 bucks.

Fractal design R4 and arc midi

Corsair 200 & 300R

NZXT gamma

Silverstone TJ08E or Sugo SG09, if you have a mATX system

Bitfenix prodigy, if you have a mini ITX system

I'd have to say this is probably by far the best looking budget case ever. Awesome features inside and you can't go wrong with corsair. After looking at this picture again and if I had to pick a single case this would get my vote. :D

Fractal designs, as people have said. I'd go with the corsair 200r or antec 300. Thos seem to be the most popular.

Cooler Master HAF 912 is another great option. I saw a Arc Midi going for $50 on newegg some time near Christmas

Also there should be some decent cable management because I like to show off my build

[ZeVo]

Fractal Design R4 is the way to go!

Antec Three hundred two 302

Cooler Master’s HAF 912, with a window.

Corsair Carbide 300R

Antec 300

BitFenix Shinobi

Fractal Design Core 3000

300r or Blackhawk

A Corsair 300R would be a great choice! I believe Corsair makes a windowed version of this as well.

They do for $10 more I think.

NZXT source 210. did a build for family and it has awesome ventilation, cable mangement, a decent cpu cutout, dedicated 8pin hole near cpu socket and its only $40 US!!

You can get a Corsair C70 on Newegg right now for 99.99 after rebate. It is an amazing case. Otherwise there is the 400R, Phantom 410, HAF 922, BitFenix Raider, Bitfenix Ghost, Bitfenix Shinobi, CM Storm Enforcer. Honestly just get the case you like most from BitFenix, Coolermaster, Corsair, Antec or Fractral that is around your price range. They seem to make the best cases around that rage. After you find out post it back to us so we can tell you if its a good case with good features.

Corsair C70 is the best one out the bunch that supports an h100. With decent cable management and the airflow is perfect so this case is definitely the winner.

I approve of the CM Haf 912 :)

All are very great cases at their price points. I have the Corsair 500r and I absolutely love it!

[Project X]

Corsair 400R/500R if you can find them at a little bit of a reduced price (it happens, just search around some). They're BEAUTIFUL cases. In my eyes, not need to spend any more than about 100 bucks today for a case.

[LimeDk]

Corsair 500R is a great option

[MdX MaxX]

I'm kinda biased since it's the only case I've owned, but the Cooler Master Storm Enforcer is great. Pretty much the HAF 912 but a more elegant, less militaristic look, if that's what you're going for.

Won't really fit a H100 though.

I also love the NZXT Phantom 410 just from what I've seen of it.
