Cheapest and Widest mATX cases?

Monchi

Problem:

 

So my case is... small and the side panels wouldnt fit thanks to the giant aftermarket cooler (coolermaster T4) i put in xD which im happy with it as it cooled my CPU by 6-11 celcius down than the stock cooler.

 

this is pretty much just for vanity sake :P im fine with my current case and i got the side panel to fit by.... making... a large... hole and dent for the cooler to fit...

 

okay so the way it looks right now bothers me DX

 

can you guys and gals show me a better case that is wide and cheap? like 50$ less? @w@

The Cooler Master Hyper T4 looks to be around the same size as the Hyper 212 EVO, I think? If that's the case, the Cooler Master N200 case should fit it, and it's generally a pretty inexpensive case.

T4 is not a huge cooler so it should fit in most new cases. Try something like a bitfenix comrade for under $50

Corsair 350D - ASUS Maximus V Gene - Intel 3770K @ 4.6Ghz - Corsair H100i - G-skill Trident X 2666Mhz 4x4Gb - 2 x EVGA GTX 680 Classified 4Gb @ 1250Mhz - Corsair 860i - 2 x Samsung 840 Pro 240GB (Raid 0)

I'm too shy to take a picture of it TTwTT but just imagine the area with holes on it to be dented out as well as a giant hole in the middle

hahaha I had to do something like that a year ago when I couldn't fit my cpu cooler haha

http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/imageview.php?image=52525 Silverstone P08 its 39$ cheap but... it was a poor choice to be made >_< you can't fit anymore hard drives since the USB3 connector blocks it.

Link doesn't work. Hotlinking images from Hardware Secrets seems to not work.

Ahh, I see, you meant the PS08. Yeah that looks like your basic, cheap case.

A really good mATX case that people seem to love, including me, is the Corsair 350D.

EDIT: Just realized you want something cheap, so the 350D is out of the question.

The NZXT Vulcan has plenty of clearance for a large cooler, however other factors of the case are limiting, and some people do not like the looks of the case. (I own one by the way) Also, if you can get it on sale it usually goes for around ~50-60 bucks. I hope I helped!
