I am looking at building a computer, and I want to use a cube case. I want something that looks adventurous, not like the fractal design node 804, which is just boring IMO. I don't really care about storage, besides fitting 2 3.5" hard drives. I don't really care if it is mATX or ATX, I could also get a mini ITX, though that wouldn't be as good. My budget is around $80, so nothing crazy expensive. Finally, the case needs to have a side panel window. Thanks.

Bitfenix Prodigy?

No sure about the drives and stuff, but I like how it looks :P

For the micro atx version, It supports up to 2 3.5 inches hard drives. I have one myself.

It's a great case, but If you have a lot of hardware (and watercooled) it starts to be tight (yet very fun) to work with!

 

Then, I've always find the Corsair Air 540 very attractive...

Thats a brand I've never heard of, and that case looks pretty plain from those pictures.

Those look decent, the prodigy m would be good, though it is $20 over my budget. The elite 101 looks pretty boring and doesn't have a side panel

wow, on amazon.com the prodigy m is unexplicably pricey! (You can get it for around 70 euros in europe)

Though, some sellers sell it for 89 dollars.

Thats also the windowless version, and I want a windowed case. For a windowed one it is $10-15 more.

Ah, that's true!

 

What about the Cooler Master HAF EVO? I personally find it intriguiing. Despite the boring black color, it definitely looks like something different!

(I'm sure there is also a version with the window on top)

 

EDIT:

This Thermaltake one is cube and has window but under 100$ it is difficult to find something not boring (though I like this one)

The first one just looks overboard and gamery. The second one looks decent though.

Corsair air 240

Thats the one I have been mainly looking at, but it has quite a few decently large problems.
