I want to upgrade my case, as my current one has no cable management room and is limiting me from upgrading and just an overall bad case, I got when I was low on money. My sig has my current specs that I would be transferring over. I was looking at the Corsair Obsidian 450D, are there any other good cases in this price range ($100-$120) dollar range?

Enthoo Pro :)

But case is a personal choice, and the 450D, H440 and this one are somewhat similar, so pick the one that offers you the most eye candy :lol:

Enthoo Pro looks pretty good at that price, but I heard the window sorta sucks and gets smudges and scratched easily

 

Lol another one with that avatar

 

I would recommend the H440

Is that a quiet edition type case? Seems like it doesn't have much airflow

It has plenty of airflow.

 

@1Scotty1 has SLI in the H440 and gets great airflow if I remember correctly.

 

He could probably vouch for it better than I could

1. Yep. But if you are careful, it shall stay in pristine condition ;)

2. The H440 is a bit leaned to the silence type of case, but with 3 fans in the front, it offers plenty of airflow ;)

@Tim Drake - you know my case very well, m8 :P

 

But yes, I have 3 intake fans at front, one exhaust in the rear and two on top as exhaust through the radiator (Kraken X61) and my temps are very good :) I have a post about it in my build log, let me go fetch the link

might look into the Define S (offshoot of the define R5)

if not, the enthoo pro is a great go to case for low cost and premium options.

That looks great!

Looks like case makers are finally catching up to Silverstone, direct airflow path is getting popular now, h440, s340, now this.
