I'm building my first mini ITX system and would like to find a more affordable option to the NCase M1

Edit: Budget ~$120 or less

 

Silverstone has some fairly nice ITX based cases:

Thanks for the suggestions guys, i forgot to add that i'm looking for a nice windowed side panel and an aluminum/metal construction similar to the Ncase M1.  I've been sifting through Silverstone and Lian Li offerings

Phanteks' Evolv line of cases are quite nice. Their mitx case, is unfortunately made of steel, but it is still quite the looker. If you don't mind something slightly larger, the matx version has an aluminum exterior, while maintaining the sexiness.

I have been going through the very same struggle of finding an ncase m1 alternative. Living in Europe does have its benefits but in this case the price of the case after adding taxation is simply unreasonable for me. 

 

After scourging the web I came across a company in ?China which operates under the name Jonsbo. They have some beautiful case including the C3 which I will probably purchase for my upcoming build. In europe they operate under the name Coolted and sell from Germany if i'm not mistaken.

 

This is my first post so I hope slapping the links directly here is allowed.

and the EU link:

I hope this helps but then again the shipping/tax may be an issue for you aswell :/

 

 

 

The specific model which is similar to the ncase m1 is the W2 but differs in size by quite alot..
