H440!!

 

Ok ok, 

 

Out of your choices I personally like I corsair a little bit better. Looks considerably less tacky than the Z11.

 

Is this a budget case or are you willing to spend more like the H440, or Corsair XXXD series cases?

I had a computer.. and then I let FedEx ship it.

the 300r because it isn't nearly as gaudy or ugly.

Hey, look! It's an opinion!

I owned the Z11, the airflow is not very good.

 

If I had to choose between the two, 300R is my pick. It's a higher quality case in terms of build materials and quality.

 

If I had to choose in a $100 budget (previously stated budget), I would spend a little more and get an Arc Midi R2.
