A box.

 

Now make a good title and list what specs will be going in the case if you want an actual recommendation.

Budget, form factor, specs, etc are all very necessary. a case recommendation would be very different for a system with an i3 and a mini ITX board versus one with a Xeon W3175X in a Dominus Extreme.

well for a 150 you can get almost anything, airflow is important so that's the only thing i'd keep in mind next to aesthetics. ah also look for a mid tower for that board. tbh i'd get an nzxt h510 elite even tho it's airflow is shite

Not exactly against it, I was looking at the Cooler Master MasterBox TD500 Mesh Airflow ATX Mid-Tower, but I read a lot of negative reviews about it breaking and the fans dying so, yah.

try this one it's fairly new but it seems like it's a good option, the only downside is that it comes with a mere 2 fans

Get a Phanteks P400a or a P500a if you want something a little bigger. It's a great case that's super easy to build in (I built a system in 2 hours with no prep in one of those, they're dead simple). I'd recommend the 400 over the 500, but either is good and would be a great match for your system, and if you want to spend the full $150 on it, get the non digital version and buy a bunch of aftermarket fans (either be quiet! or Noctua for the best performance).

Thx man, i decided on the p400a, one question, are the fans good and how many are there? Also for my first time how long do you think it will take to actually build it?

also you have exactly 420 posts, lol

The p400a comes with 2 mediocre fans unless you get the RGB edition, then it comes with 3 mediocre fans. It's recommended to swap them out for better ones, and more of them. Get the non-digital one, it's about $70, so you have $80 to get a bunch of fans/

it is just a replacement panel for the p400, that is what mean right?

it's just a different panel, but I don't think they sell it independently. It comes in and out of stock pretty regularly, give it a week and it'll be in stock. It's the difference between bad airflow and great airflow

ok so just to be clear, i should get the p400 with this panel, right?

[RONOTHAN##]

Yes, you want it with the mesh panel. It is denoted by the "a" at the end of the name

Just realized the RGB version is in stock. I'd personally say wait and get the non-RGB version and get some aftermarket fans, but if you don't want to wait it's only $15
