Case Reccomendations

[4eyeguy]

I need a case with at least 3 preinstalled fans and no rgb with decent airflow for under 70 USD, does anyone have any recomendations?

[Tetras]

What's going in the case?

Hard call, good cases start at $100 (Phanteks NV5 or G360, Corsair 4000, LL Lancool II, BQ PB500DX...)

Antec makes decent cheap cases with fans, get an Antec 410, or Antec 600Flux at $80

G300A w/ 3 RGB fans is $80.

False

 

Montech AIR 903 BASE

Fractal Pop Air

 

The hard part is getting a case with three fans, as most cases in this price point typically come with only two*. 

 

*Presumably OP is using an ATX motherboard and PSU

I can't recommend the ComEZ Classico because, frankly, the 4 fans are horrible: flexible AND weak plastic, and Molex D connectors. Plus, the front I/O connector is dated with 2 USB-A 2.0 and 1 USB-A 3.0.

 

The claim that there are no good cases sub $100 is false, however. It may take time to find the one you need, though.

Assuming you are going ATX, the Fractal pop air is a solid option although it is $10 above your budget.

I didn't say there's no good cases under $100, but that at $100 you will mostly have good cases

 Fair enough, but are your standards very high for what is considered a good case? For example, are you expecting A good case to be easy to build in?  To me, an easy building case is a luxury not a requirement.

To me ease of build it's a top requirement, it kills the building fun if you're fighting the case, and then again when you're upgrading stuff

And it don't really cost more, it's more of a design issue

I'm gonna start a new thread about that type of case. I hope you'll respond.

I may now be late to this, but the Meshify 2 RGB is on sale for $85 (It's normally $150+)
