Final decision: Help with picking a case

[mikey_c]

Hello! I am at the final stages of my build planning. I need to decide on a case.

 

At first I decided on a NZXT Phantom 240, because, well, I think it looks completely bada**. I was recommended the 410 instead. However, due to the cheap plastic build and lack of noise dampening, I have decided that I will probably will buy something else.

 

My build will be primarily used for gaming. I want something that looks sleek, even exotic. I want it to be quiet too. I'm not a fan of the Fractal Define series because of their over-simplistic look. I don't mind the NZXT S340, but I think it also looks a bit basic.

 

I am open to all recommendations/suggestions, even if I hate the case. So please, just throw anything out there. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Here is my build:

I would like the case to cost around $75 if possible. Under $100.

I'd probably do the s340. Just get a version of it that is like Black/Red or Blac/Blue and the likes.

 

Edit: like Colt below myself i have the Black/Red s340 and i have to say it looks quite stunning, really differentiates it from the plain black or white.

Everybody recommends that, though. How about a close second?

There arent really any. S340 is the best at that price tbh.
