I am looking in too changein my case. I have a haf x and it is too big and it looks like crap. So are there any silent optimized cases for no more then 300$. I also have a h110 that needs to fit in.

Fractal Design Define R4

Don't think the H110 fits in that case.

Your budget fits about every silence optimised case out there....do you still want a full tower case? Or are you happy with a mid tower?

Yeah I missed that, well it fits with a little tiny bit of modifications. It's worth the extra trouble, the R4 is such a great case and it's super silent.

I own the case myself (windowed version) and it is amazing!

Wow thats setting the bar very low...  maybe if you like lots of cheap plastic panels. He's got $300 to spend, at least recommend a case with brushed aluminum.

You you have any requirements other than the 280mm rad? "Optical" bay slots, or HDD mounts, for instance?

Yeah, fair enough

I meant to put a 'for the price' at the end of that, but I guess that is not really relevant with a $300 budget

 

OP: basically go for anything you like the look of! The INWIN 904 is a great looking case IMO  :)
