So i need a budget case and i saw the NZXT source 210 elite and it looks very good for what i need.

Its on newegg right now for 30 Bucks with a side panel window.

 

I will be replacing this:http://www.amazon.com/Black-CompuCase-Tower-Computer-120mm/dp/B009MB0C1K/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370315899&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=HEC+63R3BB+Black+Steel+ATX+Mid+Tower+Computer+Case+-+OEM

 

I got it because my budget at the time was limited and it wasn't released.

 

Does anyone have any experience with this case?

Ok, I couldnt find it sorry about that anyways most new nzxt cases are built well with decent cable routing so no worries there.

I built a pc for my dad with that case not too long ago and fell in love with it. Excellent quality and all the features you could ask for at that price.

Currently using this case and really do love it except some spacing issues with my GPU and I don't like how the hard drive is facing towards the back of the case other than that its a pretty solid case.

If you are going to rely on airflow, you might also want to look at the NZXT Source 220 with the mesh front.

I dont really need airflow as i will be water cooling soon and i already get very good temps on air in my crap case with a 20$ air cooler from best buy.

if you look there is a place for the 4 pin but its a really small opening when the motherboard is put in.

I've built my file server and a friends gaming computer in this case. I have the version with USB 2 for my file server and the USB 3 for my friends computer. I love this case! For $50 with USB 3 and $40 for USB 2 it's a great case. It's not flashy and I didn't have any problems with low quality plastic when building in them. My only complaint would be when you have fans that use the rubber nipples for sound dampening they are annoying to get in on the front.
