Case Suggestions?

[GigaSnow]

I built my PC in February, and to cut on costs, I stuffed it in a case that had been given to me previously. The case gets the job done, but the cable management is not the best, and it has some odd quirks to it. Not to mention, the storage accomodations are really bad.

 

I spent quite a bit of time looking on Newegg and Microcenter, and while I've found some nice options, everything was off in some way or another that made it a dealbreaker (mainly the lack of a 5.25 bay, or price). I was considering a Spec-02, but when I looked at my budget, I realized that I could spend a bit more than that and wanted to shop around first.

 

Here's what I need:

 

-mATX compatibility

-Decent cable management

-Min. (1) 5.25 bay, for my BR drive

-Side panel window preferred

 

Color: It doesn't matter too much, but something in white would be better than something in black.

 

Size: Something smaller, but allows me to grow a bit when I get the funds to add new parts

 

Location: Not sure if it matters, but I am located in the US

 

Budget: The Max is $110, but ideally, I'd like something in the $75 range if possible.

 

 

Thanks for the help.

Here is my list of cases (that I was concirering for my build), but not all of them are what you need.

Antec 302

Cooler Master CM 690 III

NZXT Source 530

Corsair Carbide 200R Window

I suggest you Cooler Master CM 690 III It has insane looks, and I think that it has all the things you mentiont before.

As is, my components aren't terribly loud, but I'm sure as I upgrade coolers and fans, that will probably change.

 

Thanks for all the help guys, I'll definately check out all these cases.

I really like the looks of that, it would be perfect for my space constraints.

 

The only thing would be, if I could somehow rig up my internal drive to be external for not a lot of money.

If you're looking for aesthetics, go for the XION xon-985-bk

You could use something like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HJZJI84/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1432366333&sr=8-2π=AC_SX200_QL40&keywords=usb+to+sata+3+5.25&dpPl=1&dpID=41Yl31qyvRL&ref=plSrch

It will look super ghetto though
