mATX case for 60$?

Curesto

Hi, i'll build new Intel based system. The motherboard i will use: MSI B460M A-Pro.

 

So, i want to get more compact case.

 

But i'm not sure which case should i get with this budget.

 

I'm not able to buy case from: eBay or Amazon. Because, i live in Turkey.

FYI, most cases that people will suggest will not be available for $60 in Turkey. I can recommend my case if you are looking to get a different layout case. Other than that, QS240 is another a safe bet.

Not that many good mATX cases anymore, as motherboard manufacturers don't really make awesome boards in this form fact as they used to several years ago. 

 

I can suggest the Cooler Master MasterBox MB311L ARGB Airflow. It is about $10 more than your specified budget, at 70 USD, but it is from a reputable manufacturer, has decent airflow and comes with two ARGB fans already, which by themselves probably cost $20-$30 if you decide to buy them separately.

Some suggested me the "Dark Guadrian Mini" some local brand i think. Comes with 4 fans installed; 3 on front 1 on the back.

It looks alright judging by the pictures, at least. If it comes with four RGB fans included for $60 or less, I personally would be a bit worried about the build quality and general robustness of the case. If there is a place where you can go and check it out in person I would suggest doing that.

Yes, i'm bit worried about that too. Also, i don't like RGB fans. I like pure design cases. I think i'll search more cases. Cooler Master has great cases that i like, but none of them on the stock in Turkey.

Literally just built a rig in this case. For the price point I was pretty impressed. Wish it also came with a basic rear fan, but I suppose you can't have everything.

I'm also found "Aerocool Trinity Mini" in Amazon. Looks cool. But i don't think my GPU would fit in that case.

I am not sure which graphics card you intend on using with it, but it has decent space according to Aerocool's website

That car measures at 307mm, I guess it's not getting in there.

Sad to hear about that. I think i'll try to find case that has at least 32cm graphics card space. I think i had a very large GPU for these type of cases.

I'm also found 2 more options:

 

First one is Zalman M3 PLUS comes with 4x120mm fans.

 

Second one is also much cheaper or way lower my budget and comes with 2x140mm and 1x120mm fans which is pretty cool for the price. Model is: "Rampage Private". But not sure about material quality.

If turkey has Tecware, you could have a look at the Tecware M3+ its a pretty decent case I'd say, comes with 3 fans, and has decent cable management

My pick for mATX at $60 would be the Lian Li 205M, but I have no idea if it's available in Turkey. 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

I'm also found an case called "Rampage Private" it cheaper than most of the cases i've interesed about. It has mesh design and i think it won't be cause any cable managment issues. Not sure about material quality though.

 

I has 2x140mm fans on from 1x120mm fan on the back. I think it's pretty decent for the price.

You would be better off to ask other enthusiasts in your own country because basically nobody on this forum knows what's available in Turkey.

I've asked them and they suggested me those cases:

Zalman M3 Plus

Rampage Private

Dark Guardian Mini

 

The Rampage Private the cheapest one and comes with 2X140MM and 1X120MM fans, which is pretty decent for it's price. But not sure about material quality.
