My noctua cpu cooler push on the side panel so there's a decent flex in the panel and the case is quite ugly(bought it a part of kit-deal thing from tigerdirect.(know I have better PC parts better then the i3 I had.)) And no cable managment at all(one of my gpus fans did spin for about 3 months because a cable blocked and its on know but I only noticed because in a piece of software it only saw 1 fans rpms and the seconds fan was at 0 rpms

So heres my dilemma I need a new case but cant pick one because Im not sure what I want. So can you guys give me some suggestions lets keep its sub 100 dollars

I think we need a picture or some more info here......kinda hard to give you any advice with so little info. Is it a 120 or 140mm tower? And/ Or can you at least measure the height?

Lol, your case is "some shitty thermaltake", huh. We need more info. What is the height of your CPU cooler? Noctua has them on their site, you must know what CPU cooler you have.

So now: Do you have any preferences? Do you want a cube or a regular tower? Something with or without a window? Watercooling support: yay or nay?

Haf XB is a nice case if you want a big, but still portable case. Great cable management and you almost do not need fans.....kinda just has natural airflow.

 

Corsair's 750D is really good looking and is awesome with cable management. Corsair does that really well.

 

Define R4 is one I would recommend as well. You can go silent here. probably the best thing about this case, although that does not mean anything else about it would be bad.
