As the title says, I am looking for a case that is newbie friendly.

 

This because I am doing my first actual build.

 

Requirements:

 

- Under €100

- Supports ATX motherboards, Mid Tower sized

- Has good cable management

- Once again, noob friendly

 

 

 

Laptop: Intel Core i5-4200H, 8GB RAM, 750GB HDD, GeForce 840M

Desktop: Intel Core i3-6100, 8GB RAM, 750GB HDD, GeForce GTX 750 Ti

Noob friendly = nine miles of space behind the motherboard tray for cables = Define R5

It's a bit over his budget.

The case i have (Be quiet silent base 800) has tonnes of space behind the motherboard tray and is so silent i sometimes accidentaly leave my pc on when i think its off
It is also sexy as F*** which is always a plus

Why Is it windows 10 not 9?

because 7 ate 9

Noob friendly= Easy cable management that is budget doesn't exactly exist but cheapest cases with decent cable management would be like the R4, Arc Midi R2, S340. Define S

Thanks for all the replies guys, it means a lot to me  :)

 

 

As said before, cases like the Define R5, but also the H440 and Silent Base 800 are over budget.

The Define S looks really nice, it isn't available everywhere though and there are little reviews (because it's new), but I am probably going to get one. The NZXT S340 is also still in my consideration, but quite a bit behind the Define S.

 

Once again, thanks for all the replies.
