My class mate's brother wants to replace his old corsair C70, he uses an m-atx system so was planning to go smaller. 

Anyone know of any cases under $100 that's an mini tower or smaller? 

Note: I showd him for the thermaltake core V21 he hates it.

I know meshify c is a great case. The mini version should be good.

I am far from an expert in this so please correct me if I’m wrong.

Yea I have that case in my computer classroom but that case is over $100, he's not willing to over shoot his budget.

  • 👍🏽 Silverstone PS15 - starts at $74

i never recommend blocked front panel, cause the smaller you get, the more air you need

Where are you located? It’s $94 on Newegg for US.

I looked through their posts and saw SGD, which means they are from Singapore (or at least their friend is). So either they are looking for a case that is under $140 SGD ($100 USD) or under $100 SGD (~$70 USD).

 

On Newegg Singapore, the Meshify C is $142 (GST-included) so they are probably looking for something under $100 SGD.

The Fractal Design Focus G is a cheaper alternative at $89 SGD (GST-included). Also, it would help if you put down what currency the budget is in and what country you are shopping from next time
