Need advice on a case

Budget (including currency):  under $50 if possible

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: computer already working, just need a new case

 

Other details I am not a fan of RGB lighting.  There, I said it.  I need a case for my gaming r I g with NO RHB, and no clear side panel.  However, I can't seem to find one anywhere that isn't a piece of junk.  Full ATX motherboard with enough space for an aio cooler, 3 3.5 hdd and 2 2.5 hdd.

 

I just thought of this, are there any 'stackable' cases?  I don't have a lot of space, and would like to build my current plex server into a 2nd case that I might be able to stack on top of or under my gaming rig.

Be Quiet! has some cases with solid sides

 

https://www.bequiet.com/en/case/2049 here is one!

Not bad...  I generally only shop on Amazon though, as my luck in getting items from Newegg undamaged is about 10%

Also, it's over 3x what I can afford atm.

Most cases around this price point probably won't have the best features but there might be some good deals on amazon. Some cases will be second hand so try and avoid them. If you do find a good deal check the reviews, airflow  and user friendliness to them because some deals are a waste of money. I can't really recommend any cases because I don't live in America. 

 

Hopefully this helps.

Quote me for the answer and please Mark As Solution if I solved your problem

Check out the Antec Three Hundred Two.

I was looking at this case, for future purchase:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FFJ0H3Q/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_WZV6SXTSGKV1TX53ND2K

 

I was thinking I might even be able to stack 2 of them.  What do you all think?  It's out of my current budget,  I know, but especially if they are stackable would be great.

That's actually kinda sick! That would be cool to do. What about doing 2 PC's in 1 case? I have seen that in a linus video from 2018-2020 i think? (i know they do a lot of videos) it was pretty cool

My main concern with that would be heat, and how would the 2nd board mount? Wouldn't it be backwards?
