Computer Case

Hey guys,

I got a HP Pavilion p6310f desktop computer I bought from my friend as he upgraded, I got a couple upgrades done to it and I realized that the case was horrible for cable management and has barely any air flow. 

My girlfriend gave me a $75 dollar Bestbuy gift card (I know, I know xD) and I was looking to buy a new computer case from they're website. Could you guys help me get the best bang for my buck? Something decent looking and not to flashy with good cable management and a spot for a power supply mounted on the bottom. And also mid-tower case would be awesome!

 

Thanks guys for any help and I would like to know some of your favourite cases and why there your favourite!

 

P.S. - I live in Canada so the price would be in Canadian dollars obv ;p

NZXT Source cases are REALLY good for the prices. They're built sturdier than most "budget" case in the same price ranges. I would definitely recommend picking up an NZXT case.

"A picture is starting to form here... I wonder if it's accurate? Some pieces don't quite seem to fit. Or maybe I just don't like the way it looks."

Hey guys,

 

Sorry for my late reply it has just been really busy over Easter weekend, So I ended up going with a Corsair 500r, really like that case and I can put a rad in it the future soon if I end up getting h100i or something.

all in all the case looks good and I am super excited to get it!

 

Also I want to give a shout out to spwath for helping me out with this decision, thanks a lot man and sorry I left you hanging :P
