Help with choosing a itx case (all cases under usd $80)

AnimeFreeFan

I went to our local pc part shop with my dad we found a few cases for itx under usd$85 (RM$200).

But still not sure what to pick, 

CoolerMaster Elite 110 

CoolerMaster Elite 130 

CoolerMaster MasterBox NR200 (arrives in 3 weeks)

Silverstone Sugo SG13B 

Silverstone RVZ03-W RGB edit ; $210.00RM

Fractal Design Core 500 

Cougar QBX

Cougar QBX Kaze (display set) 

Nk ii (Chinese case) 

Corsair 250D (last 2 left) 

N-case M1 V4- $650. 00 RM (Very expensive) 

 

A little advice would help. Thanks.

Cougar qbx would be my pick.

I was thinking of the core 500 so I could have a Blu-ray player, I still got so many studio chibi Blu-ray discs to watch.

The QX can hold a slim ODD, I'm not sure if you can get slin ODD's in blu ray varieties anymore. 

 

What are your priorities in an ITX cases? Size? Hardware support? Portability? Minimalist design?

Hmm, one that won't cook me in my room? 

I need a optical drive for schoolwork (need to hand in disc for homework) 

Not too big if possible. 

I was looking at the core 500 and elite 130 looks like can fit alot.

What's your syste, build? If it's an "office/scholl PC" either one of those would be perfectly adequate for the job. But if it's a "gaming/portable PC", I'd look at smaller/more ventilated options. 

 

It's too bad they dont have the RVZ02 or ML08, it's the same form factor as the RVZ03 but has the slim ODD option just like the QBX.

Temperature is gonna depend on the parts you put in there not the case.

Plenty of usb disk drives out there which allows you a lot more options

The cougar is amongst the smallest but does not compromise on airflow which is why I really like it

I see, I prefer having the odd in the case less clutter on my table, I'm sharing my computer table with my brothers as in more then 1 we're using a refurbished dinning table as a PC table.

You don't have to keep it on the table as they are just usb plug in. But if you like the other cases more then go for it.

Yeah I know what you mean, the shopkeeper said because they were of the same type he didn't want to bring in too many of the same types.

Understandable, they're nearly identical, though Silverstone changed the internal layout to make them more suited to certain users. The RVZ 03 currently fits the best in the market people shopping for cases are looking for.
