Need help with case selection

[Som3a]

As the title says I need help picking a case. I live in Egypt so parts availability is something to consider and pricing is really different from the US or EU (UK included). At the moment I have a case budget of around 1500 EGP with 1 USD being equal to 16 EGP, I won't mind going over as long as i'm under 2000 EGP but going under would be great. At the moment I am considering the Bifenix Enso Mesh as it was the best case within my budget that had at least 2 fans and some form of decent to good ventilation, although the case has some fit and finish issues they don't really bother me since it only costs 1300 to 1400 EGP which isn't much. If anyone was to give me any other suggestions here is my criteria:

 

- minimum 2 case fans

- minimum 2 USB 3.0 on the front (Type C isn't necessary as my board doesn't have a header for it)

- decent to good airflow/ventilation

- decent dust filtration

- a PSU shroud

- and what would be considered as enough space for cable management

- subtle RGB on the front, sides or case fans is appreciated but not necessary

 

I know that I may have strict criteria, or that I may be asking for too much but here are the websites I use if anyone would like to check it out, https://maximumhardware.store, https://elbadrgroupeg.store, https://hankerz.com.eg/shop/

 

Thanks!

A lot of cases I found on the first website are not familiar to me but what I can recommend you is two cooler master cases. NR600 and the TD500 Mesh. The TD500 Mesh is a bit over your budget but check out and decide for yourself. Both with mesh front panels. Great airflow (TD500 Mesh is better and comes with 3ARGB fans). The NR600 is unfortunately the ODD version, which means you can only mount two fans at the front, but it already comes with two fans. A friend of mine has that case and airflow is not a problem at all. Your other requirements also fit those cases I believe. I’ll leave you the Gamersnexus reviews of those cases if you want to check in depth.

Thank you so much for taking some time to help me out, I will check both cases out and make a decision, thanks again.

@sithuhlaing, I have checked out both cases and like you said they both fit my criteria. The NR600 seems like a great option and fits my budget! Sadly it is the ODD version, do you know if I can remove the 5.25" bay?? Thanks again for your help

I believe so. I have the Silencio S600. Not a great case for airflow but the internal layout is shared with the NR600. It too comes with the ODD at the front, and it can be removed so yes, I think you can remove that drive bay.

It seems like BitFenix is in your region sence you are considering an Enso mesh, those according to Gamers Nexus has very bad thermls due to a pocket of air getting trapped in the front. I have a Nova Mesh and it seems to have very good thermals and mine came with three 120m intake fans and one 120m exhaust.

I have heard of the massive Bitfenix Enso hotbox problem but that was the Bitfenix Enso since then Bitfenix has addressed the issue and added mesh front panels to both the original Enso and Nova, according to many sources the airflow issue was fixed and that's why I was considering the Enso Mesh. However the Nova Mesh model that you have (the one with 4 fans) isn't available in my region anymore so I am going with the Enso Mesh purely because of the nicer aesthetics since both the Nova and Enso Mesh have pretty much the same airflow
