Hello! In over a month I'll be moving cross country. However, this time I'm in my own and really only need to move my PC. Currently it's in a Corsair 600c, however I need to downsize because as it stands the case is nearly 50lbs on its own (expensive as all hell to ship). I like the design and decided to get the 400c.

 

However... Turns out there's been a price hike recently. My local Fry's is out of stock and it's $140 on eBay. That's more than I'm willing to spend on it. 

 

My question is: can you recommend a PC case which is similar to the 400c/600c? 

 

My constraints are as follows:

-Around or below $100USD

-House full atx Mobo 

-Room for massive Asus ROG 1070ti

-Not heavy or massive (ideally under 25lbs)

-Spots for 2 full HDDs and SSDs

 

Thank you for your help!

 

(Alternatively, if you know a way to ship the 600c with insurance for less than $350, that would be helpful too).

400c has a acrilic panel, 600c i think it has a glass pannel

 

has to be corsair? i dont like much 400c, it looks cheap and airflow is not spectacular

 

has to go in a case all the parts? you could sell the case and travel woth the parts, when you get to your destination find another case, perhaps even the same 600 if you like it that much

There's a convinence of having it in the case already but I'll look into that as an option. Thank you.

600C is acrylic. It's the slightly bigger, introverted version of the 400C. You might be thinking of the Crystal 678X which is glass. 

 

A case like the Define C / Meshify would b a significant downsizing, but since you have a long ROG 1070ti, I gotta ask; are you using an AIO or CPU tower? An AIO wont fit in the front of the Meshify C with a long GPU like that.
