What case to get?

charbel1011

I am looking for a tempered glass case that won't break the bank and can fit basically anything in it not too tight and has a good space for cable management and not 200$+ any suggestion is appreciated.

Lian Li's PC-011 Dynamic is a great case by all accounts: http://www.lian-li.com/pc-o11-dynamic/

 

Usually around $130, has two tempered glass sides, great cable management from everything I've seen, and is solidly built.

I second this.

 

It is like a more modern version of the PC-08 (the one that I have and love) but the 011 is less than half the price.

not 200$+ 

That describes about 40% of the cases on the market (and thats a lot!) We can narrow this down a bit

 

What's your planned system specs?

Location? (Helpful for people not in the US so I can adjust suggestions based on prices in their country)

RGB preference? PSU shroud Preference? 5.25" "Optical drive" bay?(Do you want them, agaisnt them or indiferent)

Do you care if it comes with lots of fans or do oyu want a case with almost no fans so oyu can add your own fans in (can be good fpr people who want specific fans setups and would rather not pay for fans they'd just as soon toss out)
