Case with I/O on the side panel

[Fidan]

I am currently searching for a Micro ATX case which has the I/O on its side panel, because i plan to place my pc on the right of my desk, hence the specfic requirement. Some help/recommendations would be nice!

What particular style of case?  Budget?
What about the Antec CX500M, its quite pricey however?

What about the Okinos Aqua 3?

Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L got the IO on the side and its not a fish tank case.

 

I have my PC on the right side of my desk and its a full tower with IO on top.
It doesn't limit me at all, usually you run your mouse and keyboard from the motherboard at the back of the case.

Any particular reason you absolutely need IO on the side?

Do you have a dremel?

ah right, sorry forgot to put the budget. my budget for my case is 30$ tops. and i was hoping to get an fish tank or temperd glass design (not dual chamber). the reason i wanted a side I/O panel at that time is for aestethics but currently im also leaning into a normal top I/O case. thank you for your recommendations tho

at the price point of $30 probably cant find a fish tank case but you never no.

can check local buy and sell. any online stuff shipping will cost too much. new case cost more then $30 let alone a fish tank one.

 

posable some one took one to the dump or in a dumper posably one with a broke window.

 

my guess for a used case is about $100 ish all depends if people just want it gone but not really need top dollar for it.

 

as for it having an io on the side ied first try even get a case...its even less likely.

for 30 bucks?  you're probably buying second hand.  

And if you do find a "new" case, it ain't gonna be good.
