Case under 100$

SemiSolid1

I'am looking for a case 100$ or less with good air flow, a window, good cable management, usb 3.0, maybe something like a 300R. Trying to see what other cases are out there.

If you could list your motherboard, CPU cooler, and Power Supply, I'd be more than happy to help.

The COOLER MASTER HAF XB comes to mind. Linus actually did a review of this case not to long ago. BitFenix, Silverstone and Corsair all have cases in that price range that should fit your components. Other than that, you'll need to determine what your future expansions are and plan accordingly if you want to keep the case you decide to buy.

^Like above, CM has pretty good cases for that budget range.

I would hiiighly recommend the Cooler Master HAF 912 Advanced.

I agree that the Haf 912 is a great case, although cm's HAF lineup in general is very good

I'm going to recommend a Shinobi Window, as that's what I have. :)

Buy the CM Storm Scout 2 if you want portability. If you don't care much about portability, the NZXT Phantom 410 and the BitFenix Shinobi are great options.

May the Force be with you.

300r or blackhawk

If I had one wish, I would ask for a big enough ass for the whole world to kiss

Corsair 400r is just AMAZING. I was going to get the HAF 922 when I saw reviews about the 400r. Amazing case with amazing cable management!

Corsair 300R, BitFenix Shinobi... Or the other Corsair Carbride Series cases, if you like the looks of them (personally I like the aesthetics of the 300R better than the other ones)

Anything in the Corsair Carbide series. They are very easy to build in.

I managed to get my Rosewill Thor v2 for about 80$ during black friday. However now i think its around 120$. Best sub 150$ case, awesome cable management potential. zero dust with my fan layout. Really had a blast working with it and added some custom light/LEDs. I love it and highly recommend it. Although its a bit over 100$ now.

I think I've seen fractal r4s for under 100 at Ncix and they do have a window option.

I've got a scout 2 and I love it. Got room for closed loop water coolers, nice big metal/rubber handle on top, nice window to show you only the stuff you want to see.

May the Force be with you.
