I need a chasis with handles and a side window, but under USD$100 if possible thanks

Any specific platform, like ATX, mATX, or ITX? Color preferences? Silence or airflow? Size? Water-cooling friendly? Also, does Singapore have any brands/models that aren't sold there or can be shipped there?

 

Also, do you want rims on it or the ability to add rims on it?  :lol:

The Cooler Master CM Storm Scout 2 Advanced, has an 'ok' window, but a very sturdy handle. It fits under your budget.

What I meant is that some models of cases and other parts might not be available at all in Singapore. For example, there aren't any I5-4690K's in Australia until a couple weeks later.

 

As for cases, well, I can't help you there since I don't know much, I'm just trying to clarify stuff so case-savvy people can help. Perhaps a NZXT Phantom 410? It's usually at the $99.99 mark.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. See what I mean? I'm bad when it comes to cases.

 

More dumb suggestions from Hidden Orange: NZXT Vulcan?

Some guy on the forums didn't like the NZXT Vulcan. I don't remember why, but he switched to the Bitfenix Prodigy or something.

CM Scout 2 is a good option since you don't intend to watercool and you need a handle on a budget. Fairly cheap, great handle, terrible watercooling. You said you don't like the look of it, but it might be your last resort.

yeah  but why god why!!! dT_Tb

Beggars can't be choosers, I guess.

I'm not begging.. i just a Lan case that can make my life easier

Well, you asked for a ~$100 case with handles and a side window. Not a lot of cases are made with handles and I think those that are made are somewhat expensive.

It's 60 to 110 bucks for this one: Bitfenix Prodigy M Midnight. Speaking of which, I forgot to mention that when someone recommended it and you said it was over your budget
