what are some good midtower cases? these are some I have seen, but have at leat one major flaw:

BitFenix Ghost (Black) https://pcpartpicker.com/part/bitfenix-case-bfcgho300kkn1rp it would be good, but it has no window.
Corsair Graphite Series 230T Grey https://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-cc9011040ww it looks fine, but it is gray, not black, and it doesn't really wow me with price vs features
Rosewill BlackHawk https://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-case-blackhawk it would be good, but the window is so tiny
the case needs to be black with blue led fans, or no leds visible.

Yeah, I agree, corsair is stupid in putting fans on their windows

It's $10... I could mow a lawn and get $20...

I'm 14, and I can only earn $5 a week, so its a decent amount. I will still need to save to get this. if the r4 was $80 I would probably get it, but $70 is right round my limit.

i'll consider it, it looks nice, but it only comes with one fan, and buying two more would make it cost basically as much as the r4.

also look at these; 2 fans included that glow with a window:

the SPEC series is pointless, the 230t looks better, and has slightly better feature for around the same price.

Except the spec series is black with a window, and $20 cheaper ($30 if you use the rebate!) than the 230t black with a window ;) so obviously it has a spot, especially if you can't go even $5 over budget

its just a $5 difference, or $15 with the rebate, at least in the usa

230t black/windowed = $80

Spec Black/windowed = $50

 

or looking at Pc part picker you can get the 230t for $65 at microcenter with a mail in rebate AND in-store pickup. i'm pretty sure their shipping is like 15-20 bucks so that puts it back up to 80 anyways if you can't drive over in store. driving over costs gas money also.

yeah but micro center is free instore pickup with the cost of gas, or paid shipping.

and even on amazon that's still an extra $20 bill :D. not trying to argue with you here either.
