Cheap Atx case?

[Lays]

building a list for a friend, budget is $700- ish

 

Preferably a cheaper case ~under 100$ usd.

 

A windowed side panel would be nice.

Considering the budget, maybe don't go for Haswell?

 

Unless you already bought the parts, I would like to give some input on a $700 build. What's the use of the build? Gaming/rendering/editing?

 

If you already bought the parts, you could go with these:

 

MSI TC http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-case-tc128

Thermaltake Chaser A31 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/thermaltake-case-vp300a1w2n

NZXT Tempest 410 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/nzxt-case-t410e001

I wouldn't necessarily call under $100 'cheap', since there are so many cases between $50 and $100 that are downright awesome.

 

-BitFenix Shinobi (comes in white, black, with red/blue/green/silver trims and with/without window)

-Fractal Design R4 (should be within the budget normally)

-Fractal Design Arc Midi (though not great with dust)

-Corsair C70

 

As for actually cheap cases, how about the BitFenix Merc? Very cheap without sacrificing ease of building in. And if you don't mind going micro-ATX, which unless you're actually going to use all the PCIe lanes of a full ATX you should, maybe the Fractal Design Core 1000 is enough?

Ended up going 8320 instead, haswell platform+cpu were just overly spendy lol, although I did make it work, but it was like 812$ lol
