Best case for $100

Gohardgrandpa · April 2, 2019

I’ve got a fractal design focus g case and I do like it but I want something nicer since I’ve got a spare $100 to waste.

I’d like a full psu shroud, rubber grommets to make the wiring look nicer and room for a 120mm aio cooler to mount on the top or back.

What cases do you like in this price range ? I can order from Newegg or amazon doesn’t matter. Thanks in advance

I think the Meshify C is performance-wise the best option at the 80-100 price range.
The Coolermaster H500 is a strong performer as well, comes with a RGB - but I aesthetically prefer the H500P Mesh which I own myself but it's 150 though.

I do not recommend using a 120mm AIOs unless for specific builds (e.g mini-ITX,...). They overall have very poor value.
If you you use an AIO, 240mm should be the minimum to go for - else, use an air cooler.

I also love that its a nice rectangular box instead of some weird gamer styled case. with good cooling its all-around sensible.
Also check out the silent Base 601. Much better than the silent Base 600 IMO
