Alternatives to NZXT Noctis 450 ATX Mid Tower Case

HeyYouOK?

Good afternoon,

 

I'm currently trying to shave off as much off my build as possible and I decided that aesthetics weren't nearly as important performance so I was wondering if anyone had suggestions as an alternative to the NZXT Noctis 450 ATX Mid Tower Case with good airflow since I will be air cooling it (not really sure if i want to watercool the thing) and also a fairly decent pricepoint as well with a solid build.

 

 

 

 

This is the build if anyone is interested in seeing whats in it

Please and Thank You! :)

The H440 is cheaper but if you need to get the price down even more the S340 is a solid option too.

The S340 is a great choice, but so is the Define S. If it were me and I had the budget, I'd probably go for the Define S.

But that doesn't have good airflow.

 

OT: Have you looked at the phantoms? The nzxt phantom 240 is around $65, looks stylish, and has pretty decent airflow.

If you like the look of the Noctis, something like this would be cheaper and better: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/WBvM7P

The H440 does have shabby airflow but the S340's airflow is actually pretty good.
