What Case Would You Personally Give This Build?

The Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/X6nQLk

 

The case has to be under 130 USD and have a side panel window. 

 

Please also note that there will be an H100i/H105 in the build later so make sure the top of the inside of the case has enough room to fit it. 

 

(Also just for you who are curious, there's no RAM because I already have RAM from a previous build). 

 

(Anddd just as another thing for people who are curious, the RAM is green).

Enthoo Pro, Corsair 450D, Corsair C70 and Graphite 760T are all good choices

 

Edit: Arc midi R2 also springs to mind

Ok well...which one would you personally pick? (Also the 760T is too expensive and goes over the 130 USD limit).

The NZXT S340 or H440. Both good options IMO. ;)

I saw the S340...it's kinda not that great lol. Side panel window is EASILY scratched, and I've heard the matte black areas get scratched/the paint chipped off easily as well. Linus's and Hardware Canucks both point this out. 

 

I DO like the H440 a bit though...just wish the Razer Edition would come out already.

Corsair C70. It's the only case that does a sabertooth justice.

I'd disagree, any black and/or green case will do honestly...as long as it's not an annoying light green unfortunately like the H440 Black/Green Edition.

I would probably go for the Enthoo pro out of those but I prefer to have a side panel intake fan for my GPU so I would sooner go with the Arc Midi R2

Military board, military case. It suits it perfectly. Yes it could go in other cases, but it wouldn't look as good, not without it being military themed IMO

True...I'd assume you'd opt for the Green then? I really do like that one, but the Matte Black is very nice and a lot of people have the green already. lol

It looks like a pretty common build with nothing to make it special or unique so I would personally go with a very unique case to make it stand out from other rigs, maybe something like an Inwin D-Frame or some obscure looks case like that.

Idk about all that...lol

The green one would be my choice, but the black one with the thermal armour would look pretty badass, especially with maybe some red leds in there or something like that. Especially if the window was replaced with a tinted one without fan mounts IMO.

But it looks badass. Are you shunning badassery and bragging rights?

 

It's a bit too expensive for my tastes, but it does look pretty good when it's used.

No the Sabertooth with it's armor is not bragging rights. The ROG Formula is bragging rights. 

 

I guess.
