out of his budget

the silencio gets my vote

I had actually never checed his budget. But from what I can see, is the S340 not in his budget? It appears to be.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

I would also vote for the silencio of those 4 options.  I have worked with the K380 and while not a bad case persay, it's not great either.  Since I have not worked with the other 3, my vote would be purely given to aesthetics.  That said, I'm not a fan of any of the 4! Haha...

You consider the S340 a good case for Airflow?

 

OP: If you can afford it, Phanteks Enthoo Pro.

 
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro ATX Full Tower Case  ($99.99 @ Amazon) 
Total: $99.99

 

If you can't, grab the window-less version.

 
Case: Phanteks PH-ES614PC_BK ATX Full Tower Case  ($89.99 @ Amazon) 
Total: $89.99

 

If even that is too much, look into the Corsair SPEC series.

 
Case: Corsair SPEC-03 White ATX Mid Tower Case  ($69.99 @ Newegg) 
Total: $69.99

 

The lowest cost case I'd consider is the Silverstone PS10B. Not the best for airflow, but a nice case for the price.

 
Case: Silverstone PS10B ATX Mid Tower Case  ($44.99 @ Directron) 
Total: $44.99

Obviously not the best, but it's really much better than paper makes it sound.

I love the way the S340 looks, but I have an OCD problem about cases with blocked-off front panels. I believe it has top and bottom vents on the front panel, so if anyone were to buy it, slap some HQ SP fans in there. ;)

 

...Or the Kraken x61 ;)

Thanks guys! actually my budget is about 130 SGD(100 USD) my priorities are in descending order price , airflow , silence , aesthetics . Its such a shame that singapore has quite a limited variety of cases and amazon really doesnt like to ship here. :(

Sadly, there is really no cases that fit all your priorities. 

I would still say that the NZXT S340 is still the best medium you can get, and you'd save about $30.

I have the corsair 200r, in my opinion it is a great case. Depends on your own thoughts though!
