Cheapy case (hot pockets !)

Hello. I need your help, great master race.

 

I need a cheap computer case, because I need a case and I'm broke.

 

My budget is about 70$ max (CAD, and that doesn't include shipping). I also would prefer a case that doesn't look overly gamer (i.e. this http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021 )

 

So far I found those which have good to bananas review scores:

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146078

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352042

 

So what is in your opinion the best of those three, or is there a better case than those, what do you think I should buy ?

 

Thank you in advance. I shall make a pizza pocket for people who help me.

 

(sorry if I made mistakes. I am not a native english speaker)

I would say that the Core 2300 would be the best.

First link is broken.

What are you planning to put inside the case?

What about the NZXT s340. Do not get a APU, get something like a G3258 and upgrade to an i5 later

Why not a Enermax Ostrog ? Its really spacious and big and tool-less drive installe

It looks a little bit bad to me... but I'll consider it. Thank you. :)

It looks awesome, but unfortunately as a music listener I can't over the fact it doesn't have any 5.25 inches bays...

edit: I already have an apu... I would have gone with something else if I didnt :(

try and get your build into an tax form factor, everything becomes so much cheaper then - if you do i would suggest the Fractal Design Core 1300 for £32.98 or $49.98

What is tax form factor ? That core 1300 looks gorgeous though, 40$ on ncix. Thank you (I'm out of pizza pocket)

Here's you pocket goodness: http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/04/1421630160-sans-titre.png

I am planning to put an AMD APU I already have and a graphics card later, probably a 750 ti or 260x.

Why thank you.

It's nothing <3

I don't know the name of the motherboard, but it's a micro atx. (it's an asus I think. I wouldnt overclock on it, it doesnt seem to have any decent heatsink)

How's the N200 look? http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-case-nse200kkn1

Looks pretty cool. Didn't Linus use it for the water cooling room thingy ? I've seen this before.

They used N600's which are mid towers unlike the matx N200.

Oh, my bad. Looks good though, and pretty cheap. What's better, this or fractal 1300, for matx ?

The N200 is better.
