Buy any case and use the cardboard box.

 

Anyways, try to find a Cooler Master ELITE 310 or a Bitfenix Merc Alpha. They should be around on Amazon.

I really wish that we'd just make organic hardware already, that grows and adapts to the demands it needs to meet. That way, grannies' computers can be floppy sacks of organicness and the 12 year old Minecrafters will look like the guys that only do bicep curls, and the nerdy programmers will finally have justice, with their body-builder rigs that skipped leg day.

the case of a computer is the only part that is almost future proof. I'd be more likely to rip the motherboard tray out of an old case and set it on my desk for a build than to cheap out on a case.

fractal design core 1000 is the cheapest case I recommend.

I would just spend the extra money or save for a little longer to get a better case. As said above it's the only thing you can really future proof with, you'll have it for decades and have many many different computers inside it. Better to spend the extra and get a good case for that than cheap out everytime you upgrade your entire system. They are worth the extra money.

If your budget only allows for a $30 case i'd save up a bit more but thats just my opinion
