I’m looking for a new case that is around $50 max, because mine is a piece of garbage. My only requirement is that it needs a 5.25 inch drive bay in the front, and that it has an intake fan somewhere. Any suggestions?

From your other thread; The HX310, is fine. And can fit a Hyper 212 Evo, and you can just buy an intake fan for cheaper than a new case.

It’s a micro atx board. It’s not really that the cpu cooler won’t fit because it will fit, it’s just that this case feels/looks incredibly cheap. I pressed too hard on the front of the case and now there is a large crack running up it. A intake fan would work but there is no place to put it. From the words of the manufacturer “ this case was designed for office work not higher end tasks like gaming” what kind of office/business pc has a clear side panel?

Neither of those have 5.25" baus. 

 

Focus G Mini has a 5.25" bay and is usually found for around $50.
